Saying that these differences are large is typical audiophool bluster. There are no large differences between sources that output the same bits unless there is something wrong with the system setup or components. The differences that exist are small and difficult to reliably confirm. They pale into insignificance compared to differences between good and excellent recordings. IMO money should be spent on the DAC and then on one's record library. After the computer has been made to produce consistent results one's time should be spent listening to music. IMO, if one is an audiophile and not a music lover one is a really big fool.
If reviewers for the major publications established a policy of only reviewing DACs in conjunction with known "bad" sources (e.g. electrically nosy and full of jitter within the outer limits of the appropriate specifications) then after a few years of consistently bad reviews, DAC manufacturers would get the message that they were going to have to build actual digital to analog converters, rather than non-linear noise and distortion couplers such as they are presently seem to be peddling.
