First, it's quite possible to build a mediocre amp using superb transformers. I could put a Ferrari or Ford Cobra racing engine in a go-cart chassis with dismal overall results, but it would not follow from this that the engines were over-rated.(Sub any engine you think is great; I'm not a hi perf car afficianado, I just picked two out of the air.)
How you get into the DAC, the I/V transformation and how you get out are all critical. The best way to do all three is with transformers and thus the quality of the transformers used in all three places is critical. You've seriously glossed over this.
BTW, have you completely forgotten about the impact of the power supply(ies), or do you think they just don't matter?
Keep your ears and your mind open.
