... is so difficult to comprehend - just look at the response below.Of course, when one's system is NOT designed for audio playback, there's incentive to mitigate the negative impact (best case) - or to find excuses and come up with BS why it's harmless (worst).
I fully expect a "properly designed", a.k.a "perfect", DAC to enter the picture next, and it will of course be immune to all transport-induced vagaries, including electrical noise from fan controller.
Funny thing is, skilled listeners report that, for instance, Ayre DAC is also susceptible (which makes sense, because it's a resolving machine) - while the unskilled ones bathe in spotless sonic nirvana.
