No they’re not.
Then where's the evidence and rationale to support the statements?
No they’re not.
You have an enormous patience, thanks for your interventions when I was so reluctant as this member to open my mind to rational arguments.
That happens a lot.But to hear them was something to behold
What convinced me when I was at the same hard position was the simple thought you or another member posted me: “listen, if you can perceive a difference in the signature sound of a DAC, as you mentioned that violins sound louder or piano more clear don’t you think that corresponds to frequencies we can trivially measure with instruments?”You definitely have demonstrated your lack of training in science and engineering. Do you know the technology required for thrust vectoring? Coming up with a vectoring variable geometry exhaust nozzle that can withstand the heat and stress from full afterburning and function reliably is such a piece of cake
No it isn’t.
Having an argument, and using arguments are two completely different things…

That's not an argument - it's just contradiction.No it isn’t.

No you haven't.I’ve had enough of this!
Aren't contradictions down the hall in another office?
Yes some filters can be audible, any HF roll off that starts in the audible band.Can different filters explain (at least partially) why we feel inconsistent sensations when listening to different DACs even if theoretically are measured linear?
Or perhaps interaction with non-linear amps explain these inconsistencies because output levels of the DAC can’t produce exactly the same sound even if the preamp volume is used to compensate them?
I mean, in my particular case my studio monitors have an input gain: one of my two DACs is playing louder than the other so to compensate that I low down the volume of the DAC output or I reduce the gain on the monitor input circuit.
Is this causing some effect? Despite being convinced that both DACs are well made, one of them always cause me fatigue with highs very enhanced. I cannot feel it immediately but soon or later I will have to put the other.
The one that please me more (or at least don’t produce me fatiguing) is the cheapest one (by far) so is difficult that I have psychological predisposition to believe is better; in fact I bought it for recording as it has a ADC and never thought to use it to play music.
So I continue to search an explanation from time to time: despite I’m totally convinced that is trivial to generate a clean line out signal from a digital source, the perceived sensations don’t disappear
