Congratulations on your revelation!
Next, send your dCS, Accuphase, and McIntosh to Amir for measurements, and you will be one step closer to the truth.
I would love to see them measured, but that being said, Stereophile had done measurements on the dCS stuff and they measure very, very, well... doesn't mean I can hear the difference, but they're certainly much better than a cheap DAC or CD player objectively speaking. High resulting systems aren't a bad thing, just because we can't hear them... I know it sounds stupid, but it's not a very different logic from many luxury purchases... a jacket is a jacket, whether it's cashmere or polyester.. but some want the luxury of cashmere.
Plus there's the whole quality of the case work electronics, US, UK, and Japan made vs China and such things that matter to me... I don't mind the smaller bang for the buck, as I can afford the buck. (Data Conversion Systems) or dCS has been at the forefront of Analogue to Digital conversion for 3 decades now, and pioneered 24 bit systems in the late 80's that were used by well known studies. They have a very long and impressive history in digital and analogue conversion (to and from).
In the end, It's the same logic on driving a car that can do 192 mph even if the fastest I can drive it is 65 (legally). I want this stuff for it's cool factor as much as anything else... whatever my 50 year old ears can hear the difference is almost unimportant, so long as the sound is amazing, which it is.
No regrets
