Never said its a product for ME.Performs better, heavy build quality and double the price! How does that fit into your world?
Of cause a R2R DAC is harder to make, way more expensive, and performs worse.
This shuld be clear to anyone knowing anything about DAC hardware design.
So the Analogy with an analog mechanical watch is in my mind ok.
Of cause its harder, costs more and performance won’t be as good. but dose this stop everyone from making analog mechanical watches? No
And no on in there right mind would compare a analog mechanical watch to digital quartz one based on accuracy alone.
If you don’t like the watch comparison look at cars.
People have lots of Preferences.
Turbocharger, compressor, naturally aspirated.
dual overhead cam vs. push rod.
Even if the Goal is easy an well defined like "go as fast as possible"
they compare them selves in there Classes.

Your right. this is what i meant to say!Price does not = value. Sorry
forget the "not" some how... going to edit it
People don’t try to climb the Everest without Oxigen because they think its easier faster or cheaper..
The same way a manufacture is not limiting themselves from using modern of the shelf integrated DACs. because they think its cheaper or better. but because they can.
~100dB SINAD with R2R is a very impressive and respectable Engendering achievement.
Of cause it costs significantly more in Development and Part. compered to a Fully integrated IC solution.
But having an low price or price per "SINAD" was obviously never there priority/ goal with a product like this.
