Actually audio electronics like Hifi amps were already solved in the 70s where already implementations existed with far better measurements than any hearing threshold (thus transparent) so I find it weird that such is questioned even today when a smartphone has more computing power then all supercomputers of that time.
Ok, after the end of the hifi boom in the late 80s most serious big R&D companies left the game and the market was partially taken over by small boutique "highend" crap but the measurements of some great $99 amps show its no magic to get transparent measurements and sound in the for today's technology laughable audio region up to 20 kHz when for example we have DSPs which calculate millions of pixels several times a second.
