Some audiophiles are too subjective.
Sorry. Feel free to look at my older posts telling LCD-2 owners to shove it because their headphone has a measurablypoor response curve, as well as many other posts I have made in the sound science forum.

Why don't people perform some tests on their own if they want to prove ODAC's designer wrong.
By purchasing a piece of equipment I have no desire in owning because my dac is objectively better in every respect? You know, MEASURABLY better?
Is it not nwavguys idea that the manufacturers should be performing detailed tests- to levels that are not available to ordinary consumers? Or they should, at least be accountable for their own products objective performance?
So where are his measurements that I have mentioned, or the 16bit measurement he promised a long time ago now? Or the reactive load measurements he promised even further ago? Better yet, why not just some information on the types of loads he used for the measurement (loopback, resistive, whatever?)
I don't wish to prove anyone wrong. I haven't said anything nwavguy has said is wrong. I have said he is selective about the truth, and also does not follow his own supposed ethics. I have also called into question his motives and character, particularly when he argues against people producing items. These are truths, by the way, which he says he expects from all manufacturers, but has not personally provided. Feel free to see my other post.
My favourite part about this whole "objectivist" ordeal is that it aims to stamp out the placebo effect.
Which by the way has been demosntrably shown to imrpove health, perceptions (including audio) in an almost innumerable number of studies. The power which - when you incorporate valves - which CAN be transparent - can be great. Consider, for example that two sugar pills are demonstrably a better a placebo than one, and a saline injection is even better than that.
What he is doing is, in essence, pandering to the misinformed (That's you, by the way. No offense).
