"Almost the same goes for Benchmark vs. Ayre QB-9 - comparable measurements"

Your words, not mine. Anyway moving on

"So... any idea why both of Wavelength and Ayre sound better ... despite "inferior" measurements."

Sounds better is a preference issue. the published independent measurements provides many clues as to why the DACs may sound different. For example, it is certain that a component (Ayre) that measures about -3.8dB @20kHz will sound different from one that -0.2dB @ 20kHz.

Tone controls were once common place on domestic audio equipment for good reason. In addition, the mechanics of typical vinyl playback systems readily permit topend FR adjustment. IMO, this is is just another case of looking for zebras when there is a herd of horses nearby.
