The results are already in: different A/D converters produce unique results! Within the concert taping community for example, it's common knowledge that a Sony SBM-1 sounds different than a Benchmark AD2K, which sounds different than an Apogee AD1000, which sounds different than an Apogee Mini-Me, which sounds different than a Grace Design V3, which sounds different than an Edirol UA-5, which sounds different than a Sony PCM-M1 DAT machine, which sounds different than a Sony PCM-2600 DAT machine, which sounds different than... get the idea?The point is, they're all different, and that being the case, only one could possibly be exactly true to the source. Digital is certainly not "crap," but it's never exactly true to the source, which again, tends to be common knowledge among those with firsthand experience. In the same token, no A/D converter will be exactly true to the analog signal from a phono stage.
