Dunno . . . I think Herb's hearing is just fine

But he often seems to show a preference for somewhat "eccentric" measuring products. Tube amps being one example. Maggies another. Euphonics?

OTOH, he LOVED the little Genelec powered studio monitors, which are among the most "accurate" speakers JA has ever measured.

I know NOTHING about DACs -- I don't do streaming or downloading, so have no use for one -- but I wonder how audible the measured differences between different design approaches might even be. Would I be able to hear the difference between the $10K product under review and a better-measuring unit costing a few hundred? Would most listeners?
