@herman, well said, I fully agree, measurements alone mean zero. ASR states that he does not need to listen because the measurements tell him what it will sound like!
You make it seem like all R2R DACs need a preamp. Would you care to elaborate on that statement. The Wadia I mentioned in my post certainly doesn't.
@romanesq For those who want to go the R2R route, it certainly sounds like their are good options on that front too for similar ballpark as requested here earlier but that also requires a preamp of unknown cost
