No they don't all sound the same. Problem is AFAIK the better-sounding SMD ones are rather expensive, and don't come all in one package for a stepped atten. IOW there'd be no advantage to using them, manufacturing cost-wise, and in fact they'd cost a lot more than using "regular" resistors. I suppose there could be some savings in that a machine could quickly assemble the SMD atten, but it wouldn't be smaller either, as the quality-sounding SMDs I'm thinking of are not small (components that sound good rarely/never are).
All I'm doing is opposing the inference that all SMD resistors sound bad, not offering solutions.
