RE: The problem is the method used to evaluate DACs and digital sources

Again, you avoid answering the question of listening experience.

An I don't even mean the crazy expensive stuff from cCS, Aurender, Light Harmonic, Constellation etc.

I can tell you from making my own high resolution recordings, and being at the actual event, and then hearing the mastered version through my various front ends, many do have it right.

I just recorded a band in Brooklyn, who brought their own vintage mics. I was at the side of the stage and heard the acoustic event as it unfolded. When I finished the files and loaded them on the server(s), it was all.there within reason of suspending belief.

Same goes for my master tape copies which I dub to high resolution. I can compare live playback from a B77 to the server and the results are astonishing.

I trust my ears more than any lab instruments or theory,

If what you say is true, why the huge market and nostalgia for NOS DAC chips and DACs..Steve Hoffman says the Audio Note digital gear is the "the best he has heard" and they literally using 25 year old designs.
