Even a "bad" DAC by ASR standards has THD+N well below the scientifically accepted (e.g. by JAES) threshold of audibility. More importantly, you're using valve line stages and amplifiers with THD+N far above even the worst DAC. You think you can hear 3rd harmonic at -85 dB from a "bad" DAC when your triodes are producing it at -60 to -70 dB and your loudspeakers maybe -50 dB?
