This may have been addressed before but I've been wondering if any tests on chains of equipment have been done before. For example what is the end result if one takes a DAC that tests poorly and connects it to a preamp that tests poorly and then connects it to an amp that also has poor numbers and looks at the end result of the signal? How bad does the final output look in comparison to a chain of equipment that all tests well?
I'll admit I'm a bit of a tube guy but I've always been confused by people that use a DAC with tubes and a preamp with tubes and a tube amp together because it seems like at that point even if you like the sound of tubes the layered on effect would be too much.
