First of all, thanks for the paragraphs!
Correct. Nothing personal. Where did I attack you? Not smarter, just more complete information. 2+2=5 isn't an alternative point of view, and if someone really believed it, that wouldn't make it more valid.
It was a generic representation of how it tends to go. Folks make claims that are questioned, folks get upset and double down on claims, more questions come, butthurt sets in, then it turns into a bunch of straw man arguments, attacks, and becomes less than productive. At some point, claims need to be backed up with more than 'yeah me too.'.
No, I got that.
And here we have the strawman...
To summarize, without listening controls, results and conclusions are going to be unreliable. That's true for every human on the planet, other than possibly Chuck Norris.
Oh look... Another strawman. Amir outlined how you can easily do a basic test at home. It isn't hard.
Nothing personal? You really make everyone else here sound smarter. I don't tell others how or what to think, or show contempt towards an alternative point of view, give that an honest try...

'Put up or shut up'? Who talks like that? Are you in a a high school parking lot? Most inappropriate.

you may not have understood what I'm saying. I put a new DAC in my main 2 channel system and didn't like the resultant changes to the sound.
No, I got that.
You're not only telling me the DAC couldn't have sounded different but I apparently couldn't have even known it sounded different... because why exactly?
And here we have the strawman...

If you need hyper exotic conditions to hear any differences in the sound of DACs
