"The real issue is the definition'proper operation'."Who else would define it besides the component manufacturer? If a manufacturer doesn't supply the info good designers need the good designers won't use their stuff.
Not correct. The proper operation of the chip according to the chip manufacturer does not necessarily imply proper operation of the motherboard according to the computer system manufacturer. The proper operation of the computer system according to the computer system manufacturer does not imply proper operation of the audio playback chain, according to the audiophile who assembled the playback chain.
If there were complete and accurate engineering specifications at each level and designs used subsystem components in accordance with these specifications, then these problems would not exist, or at the least, it would be possible to identify a particular organization or person who screwed up. However, this is not "real world". This is a particular problem when a digital computer system is used as part of an audio chain that has inadequate isolation from digital noise. Here, there are no specs whatsoever, e.g. there is no DAC on the marketplace that quotes isolation from power noise or digital interconnect noise. Indeed, there is no standard or even widely known method of measuring the impact of this noise on the audio output from the DAC. There are no known engineering methods of correlating measurements with sound quality.
