It could well be true but that hasn't stopped or caused many HEA to sell products whose performance is borderline bad. We have the case here of the TotalDAC at $15,000.oo whose performance is bettered by the Apple dongle at $9.95....
On the side of amplifiers, I know O.T, we have the various SET amplifers who can barely hit 30 watts while producing 10% THD (yes) and cost $130,000.oo or my favorite of all times, a Wavac amplifier costing.... (pause for dramatic effect

)... ... ... in the neighborhood of $400,000.oo (NO TYPO) and whose measurements read like an horror novel..
Please, click here to be entertained.
Peace.
