The problem with audio engineers isn't citing designs they don't agree with. The problem with audio engineers is the belief of invincibility in the designs they do agree with.This is the root of this whole "audiophile lunacy" issue. It was seeded by the notion in the audiophile community that digital audio may be flawed. And the engineering community not only disagreeing with the notion, but taking it as an insult to their engineering achievement.
And since then, we've had this perpetuating feud between the audiophile community and the audio engineering community.
The CLC is only drawn into the mix to bolster this impression of "audiophile lunacy." And also cables and other tweaks. But there would not have been such motivation to ridicule had this belief in "audiophile lunacy" not been seeded in the early days of digital audio.
