I guess a lot depends on how good the analogue circuits are, if the digital conversion is objectively transparent then the analogue I/O needs to be as well, not easy.
But Rob, do you remember Eunji seemed to be able to hear the ad da chain when we did a test at yours? Some ears! Interesting to try again with proper kit.
Yes it can, but perhaps more importantly, who's tried it?
....and who wants to try it?

I think the use of 100% is adding to the confusion. I think your intention is to say is it audible. This is easy enough to try out. Id more happily stick a signal though a dozen round trips through a decent dac/adc than go near a valve amp if I were concerned about retaining the original signal.
