RE: ISO relaxed, non-fatiguing DAC

Yep, the DAC was built about 30 years ago. That time was called the golden age of music for a reason, since the objective of HiFi companies then was to build the best sounding equipment. As opposed to the best sounding, affordable equipment they could make with inexpensive parts.

Your observation on R2R DACs seems reasonable, which is why I did not bother to mention them. Conceptually it is a good idea, but apparently the implementation is complex.

If one is streaming, then probably any DAC is fine. Low expectations of the quality of that sound - streaming is convenient though, I guess....
