Mostly ASR where they don't listen and just go by measurements. Chris was right I was being sarcastic...
1. Yeah I think I saw on ASR or some forum that it sounded bad because it measured bad.
2. I think I bought it way before the measurements. Guttenberg and A youtube reviewer I trust basically said that with an A/B with the Chord Dac, he preferred the Qutest to this dac, but always kept coming back to listen to this dac. He had a good analogy about an HDR photo and how it looks great but how they can also look unnatural. I liked the powersupply and output stages too. In addition, he ended up here because he got some Stax electrostatic phones. I have some electrostatic earbuds so I thought it would be a good match.
3. Here is a link to the measurement part of the dac review: https://www.stereophile.com/content/borderpatrol-digital-analogue-converter-se-measurements
4. I actually like the dac and I am fairly sure the music I listen is pretty much done before the loudness wars. Its mostly 80s stuff.
5. Most stuff really.
