I can't kill my "inner engineer"! And this is one of the reasons I
don't use any valve amps. ;)

No, really, measurements are just measurements, they are not good or
bad. They can only be good or bad for a particular application. If they
are bad for this application, but the device sounds good, then either
I'm deaf, or requirements for this application are incorrect. I suspect
the second options is closer to reality, but as long as we don't have
any better requirements for audio gear I can't sleep well, knowing that
my DAC measures baaaaaaad...
