But, don't forget, in this case the thing measured very badly. Generally DACs & CD players all measure 'well' as I'm sure your Kinetics does.
The broader question is that we don't understand what makes really good sound whether analog or digital.
The ladder vs. oversampling DAC is an interesting comparison. I remember ~20years ago a demonstration at the Penta Show, UK, by Prof. Hawksford comparing the two types and we all preferred the ladder type - but they are uncommon nowadays.
I think jitter as the route-of-all-digital-evil has been over played for a long time. Mayber those who have been able to do valid comparisons know better but I suspect jitter was hijacked by marketing many years ago.
