Uh no. Your notion is rather absurd.Let's examine what you say...if we extrapolate reviewers should use garbage home theater amplifiers to review SOTA speakers.
I blame reviewers for parroting absurd claims by manufacturers and spreading lame buzzwords, but NOT for using high quality front ends.
Your statement holds no water.
MANUFACTURERS are the ones who should design and test their DACS with piece of shit front ends. Not reviewers.

Your analogy is bogus. A digital source is not in the analog signal path of the playback chain, unlike an amplifier.
It should be the responsibility of the manufacturers, editors, and reviewers to educate non-technical consumers. Unfortunately 30 years after the introduction of digital audio most of these people remain ignorant of the technology, or if knowledgeable are locked by business connections to a marketplace that amounts to Veblen goods for rich assholes, not tools for musicians and music lovers.

If they SHOULD but likely many or most do not, then I would think that's all the more reason reviewers should.
