The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?

ASR is a joke. Measurements are the start of evaluation not the only thing. His frequency response measurements are just stupid.  A 100hz in a sweep is just one tone. Does one instrument at 100hz sound the same as another?  So how can you say the sweep represent what real music will sound like. 
 

the only noise insee is that coming from ASR site. 

He says fancy audio gear is a waste of money because the data is already bit-perfect. 

That's a tired old ill-informed argument.

In any case, a DAC is a Digital Analog Converter and bit perfect has nothing to do with analog.

 

He could be your dumbest relative. Do you have any kin that live outside your own imagination? 

À good DAC, Do what hé have to do : from digital to analog: i did à test with a dac of 1000€,10 000€ and one of 40 000€.( very popular MSB): The first ones were very good (exellent). The most expensive one was to “clean”: no sensitivity,, no emotions (flat).. the Metronome Technologie (10000) was “splendid “. The Chines one 1000€ , was practacly egal . You have to figger it out. Much ‘money “, don’t mean ,”much better. My set is: Audio Note CDT two/2. Moon Mind 2 , Metronome Technologie C6 signature. Daniël Hertz M6L, VAC phi 300.1 and the Ilumnia Magister MK2.

DACs - is it all the same?

yes ... and the earth is flat...
