Na. It’s all bollucks over there mate. He doesn’t even listen to the equipment. It’s ridiculous. Maybe, maybe there’s an argument for his testing methods with DACs, but nothing else. Imagine reviewing an amplifier but never connecting it to speakers. Loooool. Would be like reviewing a restaurant from photos and never eating in there.

There is that, for sure. That's why I said "style". I lol at the "I only connected one speaker but I imagine it would fill a room with both ..." I do find value in the DAC stuff though, only found the site while searching for a new dongle DAC/amp. Speakers have far too many variables to put much weight on measurements only.

Think I'm beginning to fall into the audio science review style of mindset. Look at measurements and actual figures, then listen and choose. All the audiophile analogies and jargon is all a bit much. Although, I will admit that there must be a fair amount of confirmation bias/psychoacoustics in there.... One I know the DAC measures well I'm sure I can hear it, or not in the case of a good DAC....
