PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR

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
Does any piece of equipment have "perfect" measurements?  If something sounds good to me, then it is good.  I don't care if it has the worst measurements imaginable.
@ranjithkp - it feels great to throw money at shiny things that sound great.  No reason you can’t be happy with non-shiny things that measure well and sound poor.  You should buy the Topping D10 DAC.  It measures great and sound like crap...win/win for you!
@ djones51.  You are entitled to your perspective, and you are completely wrong about why I posted on ASR.  I knew nothing about ASR before my post, but clearly should have, nor about this thread until after it. I have never nor would I ever intentionally "troll" a site.  To be honest, I'm a little offended that you'd insinuate that about me.    
Moving on.  Over the last couple of days, I've begun to really enjoy my DirectStream DAC.  I had to made gain setting changes to smooth out the sound.  Herron VSTP3A(r02) gain on low; NAD M22v2 gain on low; and DSD gain set to high.  

I've also noticed a big difference between a USB input from a network media player (Innous Zenith MKII) versus a Coax input from a CD transport (McIntosh MCD7008).  All other things being equal, Coax is several db louder, slightly more detailed, and a bit harsher than USB.  USB is warmer, which sounds best to me.  My opinion of the DSD.  So far so good!
