That’s a strawman. They’re not ‘proposed by a forum member on ASR. What they are is a list of measurable criteria which have been identified in audio science as having an affect on human perception of sound. They also happen to be the criteria that hi-fi manufacturers have been striving to improve for years.
If you feel there are other criteria, that’s great. Let us know what they are, and they can be tested in properly controlled tests.
That’s not true, and a few examples have already been given.
There is one more thing. We already know that many people struggle to tell DACs apart, even one one is measurably world class, and the other ‘workmanlike’, and not measuring brilliantly.
As I say, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just saying, if you’re right, take your proof to the audio scientists and engineers.
Who could possibly say I’m being unfair.
