I agree with above that the review out of context of direct comparison is pretty useless.
Virtually all TAS reviews are like this. Never bother to do comparisons, and frequently they don’t even list the equipment in the reference system so you can’t even infer what they were using as a baseline. And, when they do bother to list the reference equipment they frequently leave out the reference piece that would be comparable to the review component. They go to great pains to not be held accountable for any of the crap they just feel like spewing out. Useless, self-affirming drivel is all it really is.
