Just to tack on a few more thoughts as to my own post, show me a DAC-and there are a lot of 'em-that sports a wall wart and/or switching power supply and an op-amp-only or skimpy output stage and I can pretty much predict (reliably IMHO), that boring sound will be coming out no matter how well the thing measures. There are only a finite number of off-the--shelf processors being made and only a finite number of implementations and far too many manufacturers who encase the same basic products in different cases with cost-cutting where it is most needed-the power supplies and the output stages. I will take a DAC that features a linear power supply and a robust top flight pre-amp worthy output stage bookending a DAC circuit that has been designed and tested by ear first and test-bench second any day. And have with my Abbingdon.
