I used to follow their rankings because I thought well maybe at least they would identify a component that is a disaster but no longer. Why, because a few months ago I started listening again to my MHDT Orchid Tube DAC which as you probably all know is an R2R ladder DAC and I was amazed at the quality of music it was producing over my delta sigma DAC’s, especially with acoustical music like traditional jazz which I mostly listen too. Out of curiosity I looked on the ASR site and Amir had ranked the MHDT Pagoda DAC, which is the same as the Orchid DAC but with XLR outputs as the WORST DAC THEY HAVE EVER MEASURED. They have the Pagoda DAC at the farthest right in the red scale with the lowest ranking. Never even bothered listening to it.
Here is the problem you have with your argument: anyone with measurement gear can verify my findings. No one can do that with your subjective claim. Maybe you are right, but we don't know. We don't know because you didn't follow any protocol to make sure you are only evaluating the sound of the device and nothing else.
We need to know for example that the knowledge of a DAC being R2R didn't influence your perception. We need to know if you match levels when evaluating audio gear. We need to know if you repeated your testing enough to arrive at reliable results. We all know that in casual listening tests like yours, any and all perceptions can exist. I can listen to said R2R DAC and convince myself that it sounds like you say without said controls. Indeed I routinely perceive differences that are not there. We know they are not there because measurements show evidence of that, and blind controlled listening confirms the same.
This is what separates us and why ASR has Science in the middle of it. Audio science with zero ambiguity says your evaluation of audio is faulty and without value. When folks with those claims are tested formally, they cannot repeat their outcomes. It is for this reason that claims like yours cannot be part of any paper for example submitted to Audio Engineering Society, ASA, etc.
As with other aspects of life, you can be a science denier and live your life happily. Just don't put that opinion forward as an argument in mixed company. And certainly don't use it in a thread aiming to create FUD against the other camp.
