I was reading through this old issue of TAC and it is quite amazing to see how subjective Peter Aczel was in his earlier days before the "all amplifiers sound the same" kick. Yes I know he didn't say exactly that, but you know what I mean. I think I liked the magazine much better when he presented a more balanced combination of measurements and subjective listening. http://www.biline.ca/audio_critic/mags/The_Audio_Critic_V1-2.pdf
I am back as my alter ego Jasonbourne52! Today we have an arms race among DAC designers with the subjectivists claiming superiority for their favorite 4 and 5-figure DACs. While the objectivists pursue lower cost and increasingly linear DACs.
