RE: Review DACs with transports?

"The music was unappealing and could not hold my attention long enough to finish an entire track."

This strikes me as nonsense. Either it's just typical BS audio writing where the most minute differences are exaggerated, the author has a severe case of audioneurvosa, the Meitner DAC was malfunctioning, or some other part of the system was especially quirky. I rule out the possibility that the design of the Meitner DAC could be so terrible as to cause such gross deformity in the sound, because of the good reputation of the name.

This type of writing is one of the major problems with high end audio. It drives away many serious and first-rate engineers who might otherwise be inclined to apply their talents toward producing better sound. It's not just that people write this BS, it's that audiophiles ingest it and propagate it.
