Probably depends on how you define "transparent". I haven't seen measurements for many early audio DACs, but you really only need...

This is not a mistake in production, it is a mistake in the playback hardware. We didn't have this problem until oversampled DACs were...

That is not a sufficiently thorough metric to make such a claim. For example, you can find DACs with significant high-frequency...
