Okay. I will edit out the obvious reply and only say that given limited time and resources some of us have to pick and choose what to work on. A USB interface is purely a digital/software exercise. Its the least of the real problems in high quality audio reproduction.

Depends on the particular community, wouldn't you say? Is that community in some way polarized with different beliefs? If so, that could be a problem. The easy answer is to go with the side that tells you what you want to hear.
Belief is the best humans can do. They do not directly experience objective reality, although many believe they are the only human who sees reality it it truly is. In such case its only an illusion on the part of that individual.
I find it best to proceed on the basis that objective reality is real. That way I don't get run over by allegedly imaginary cars when I cross the allegedly imaginary road.
No question that human perception has evolved enough to be useful to help with survival. Not necessarily much beyond that though. How many people are removed from the genepool for wrongly disagreeing on dacs?
I do, this is one right now, seeking truth through discussion is a philosophical discipline, but we can at least try to apply the concept to electrical engineering 🙂
I still want to make this a community project. It feels like the project goes in the right direction and there are still a lot of questions to solve.
The subject can be addressed through EE, of course. Yet as a former EE manager, one who seriously studied the subject of managing in light of things like TPS, LEAN, and Cognitive Psychology, I can tell you I learned that humans are not so objective as they often tend to believe. Also, assumptions about hearing are not so cut and dried as EE's have often misinterpreted from published research. Some EEs would seem to believe that knowledge of how hearing works is as clear cut and precise as measurements of the rest mass of an electron. Unfortunately, and as much as some people would like to believe otherwise, its not that simple.
Maybe try studying more than one discipline before feeling too self-confident and or too smug. Once we get into studying humans and human perception, then things get much more complicated whether or not we like it.
Are you sure about that ? Seems to me if this was a Linux project we'd be on the verge of yet another distro.
Do not see the need to overcomplicate this stuff with all this hair splitting mysticism. You have an objective. Have you met the objective ? If yes then job done. If no try something else. Everything else is secondary to that. Obsessing over the secondary is how we end up with thousand page threads that go nowhere. Ultimately the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The board should work under Linux too. One interesting thing about the MCU is that it has 8 i2s lines available, hopefully, this could be an interesting platform.
Oh, the project is still in the beginning, the same as my experience, it doesn't hurt to ask some naive questions 🙂
But I rather have the discussion more concise.
Chilling by your own conception that objectively someone is closer to right and someone else is closer to wrong?
This is true. Maybe people have to learn for themselves and can do so only incrementally.
My only hope in this case is that OP does not take a course that guarantees masking of effects that could otherwise be reasonably audible to him.
Is it jitter, or too much jumping to conclusions about what other people are attempting to convey?
Right or wrong is irrelevant. The ability to disagree and more importantly to agree to disagree is a hallmark of civilization. The notion that your position is so sacrosanct that it would be wrong to disagree with it is something I find problematic.
