If you need to describe a DAC's sound there's something wrong with it (spicy take for some)
Mark,
Also, weak bass can be a symptom of high correlated noise making everything sound too bright.
replace can be with IS, then it becomes tangible at least. Can be, wanna be is nor here or there.

In some cases it could be a FR issue. We don't always know everything in advance with complete certainty. That's part of science too.
In your opinion, or someone else, even mine.There will be an ultimate DAC for everyone because all technical issues will be solved and your or my subjective analysis won't count. It simply is.
When you get to the end of a technology, it dies and will be replaced with a new technolgy

Why? So far there is no ideal capacitor or anything else except as a theoretical model. How can a dac then be ideal?
Soon we will not need a capacitor and it will become a thing of the past. Hands up who still listens to a wind up gramophone? It was cutting edge, even I know of it and heard it at my grans house.
EDIT there was not a single capacitor or even something electrical in it

The most arrogant comment so far in this thread. You have not heard mine which according to objective data easily beats yours.
"You have not heard mine which according to objective data easily beats yours."
You have not heard nor seen data from mine, so your claim is not even logical.

It is indeed the same thing; human perception can be + or - vs reality.
Thankfully, human research is quite mature, and so we are able to better compare things like what people percieve and what they can actually/really distinguish. For those who want to make a rational decision this is helpful. But it is hard to do in practice; it takes some understanding/learning to navigate the plethora of details, and there is a lot of snake-oil out there. Which (IMO) takes two opposing forms - products that measure poorly but have a seducive sales blurb, and conversly those which tout measurements way beyond our ability to notice a difference in any real situation. In either case price not an especially good indicator (within reason); IMO people shouldn't particularly use cost as a guide, and especially not feel they have to spend huge sums to get excellent (real) performance.
Though not everyone wants-to/should make a rational decision. What we like is what we like, real, imagined, complicated or otherwise. For most of us on this forum I'd guess that personal satisfaction with our audio is very important, and getting hung up on details is unhelpful.
How can you compare your data to data you have never seen? Isn't that actually the most arrogant claim in this thread so far?
Anyway if want to post your sound stage measurements, I'm sure people will be interested to take a look at them.
Since you have not published any measurements it is a safe assumption that yours does not measure well enough to warrant publishing.
