Little Giant NOS DAC mini review

I find it to be an accurate one which appears to neither add nor subtract anything from the signal it receives.

And how do you know this?  What is your reference?

In absolute terms, digital is not, and cannot be truly accurate to the original performance in its present form.

But, an astute listener can thru years of listening experience gain the knowlege and ability to fairly accurately judge whether or not a particular component is lossy, colored or inaccurate to the format source in general.

This is what you say now.  But earlier you said:

Original performance?

Original signal?  This beckons a reference!

The BS meter is starting to take off.

I find it accurate to what my redbook cd’s are capable of, nothing more, and nothing less if I am not splitting hairs over it.

I will put on a direct to disc record if I am in the mood to obsess over how accurate something sounds to the real thing.

OP,

Just as an encouraging comment about sound quality. As one rises up the ladder in digital, or analog for that mater, audio reproduction the sound quality improves enormously. To the point it was inconceivable only ten and twenty years ago. For instance, I have a high end turntable and phonostage that produces sound unattainable a few decades ago, and more impressively, my streamer and CD player produce sound quality at that same level. So, the defects go away with increasing better equipment. You can see my systems under my UserID.
 

None of this may not be worth it to you, but the problems with sound reproduction you have experienced can definitely be ameliorated.
