Forgive me if I've misunderstood your position here, but you seem to be giving Stereophile some points for bothering to measure the device and publish the figures.
But: having measured this DAC and discovered how catastrophically broken it is, the review bends over backwards to find some kind of mitigating factors. Stuff like saying that it sounds nice in the mid range, where most music signal sits. WTF? Come on guys: if the device had been a $100 DAC from China, do you really think Stereophile's review would have said anything other than "This is a pile of junk, fit only for a dumpster"? How does the fact that it's pretty and costs a fortune change anything? The fact that they fail to call it out despite having the appalling evidence staring them in the face is just mind boggling.
