PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR

I read a review a few weeks ago (should have bookmarked it) on a DAC and the author mentioned ASR's poor review of it and how it didn't mesh with the sound he heard. 

He went on to mention another site of enthusiasts who also take measuring seriously and that site regularly takes ASR to task for their faulty testing procedures and the inferior equipment used for their tests.

I found the link to the site that's critical of ASR:

@ arancano  + 1.  I made the mistake of posting this on the ASR site a couple of days ago.  Silly me.

I just joined this forum today. I read with interest many of the comments in this thread regarding the DirectStream DAC's not so glowing specs. I've only had a few DACs in all of my more than a few years on this earth, but, when making a buying choice, I let my ears decide rather than digging into the spec weeds to decide. In other words, I'm more concerned about a DAC's capabilities and what it sounds like in my system. I just ordered a DirectStream DAC yesterday. I've got thirty days to evaluate it; and if I don't like the synergy, I'll send it back. But, I'm pretty confident that I will like it.

My post starts on page 70.  You might be interested in the back and forth between me and a few ASR regulars.  I finally gave up and stop responding because I knew anything I said was pointless; and to be honest, some of their condescending and hateful posts were beginning to piss me off.

I received the DSD yesterday.  I'm burning it in, and will start A/B tests with my Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE DAC in a week or so.  I like the Tubadour DAC a lot.  I'm anxious to see if the DSD sound is worth the additional cost.   

Why did you post on ASR were you not aware they use science and measurements and will not accept unsubstantiated claims about any product? I read the posts it looked to me like you went there to stir things up a bit and from my perspective they were not that condescending or hateful they kept reminding you it's a science forum not a subjective listener audiophile forum. 

There are the #measurements and then there are the #measurementmorons. ASR crowd are the very definition of the latter. 

And there are #Audiophools who throws money at shiny things which has the worst distortion possible
