RE: Fair points.

"For example, how in the world would you test deltas between a stand alone DAC and the DAC integrated into say a Devialet Expert Pro with speakers supported by Speaker Active Matching support for the speakers? Seems impossible."

That certainly would be challenging. But it's an unnecessary challenge. We can test most ADC/DAC combos against a simple side by side bypass for any audibility. I have done this several times. None of the ACD/DACs were audibly distinguishable. That is transparency incarnate. Unless one is looking for euphonic colorations from their DAC it seems to me the game is over.
