See, that's exactly what you can't do. You can't really tell if it's the music, or if the DAC itself is not performing as well.
As a matter of fact, my previous DAC was the ARC DAC 8, and that's exactly what it sounded like. The Mytek Brooklyn however sound great regardless of format between Redbook and 96/24. DSD sounds a tiny smidgen better.
So, if I say the Mytek sounds great with all formats, are you going to say it's not playing hi rez well enough?
Do you see the biases we are subject to?
BTW, I don't have an answer to this. I just don't think either position is provable.
Best,
Erik
