Lost in Translation
Yes. To test 10 DACs is a task that is vitually impossible. I would be a good idea to split the test into sessions/groups with some time between tests to allow your brains to be reset to zero. Sort of like eating bread between drinking samples of wine at a wine test.
Adding 5 transports to the mix will not make conclusions clearer, so it may be good to use just one or two transports within each group. Good that just one amp/loudspeaker set will be used.
Rather than declaring winners, descriptions of what each DAC does to the sound would be very helpful: resolution, tonal balance, sound stage (depth/width) etc. I know that this is difficult to do (from my own sorry experince).
Good luck and cheers to you all!
Best wishes,
Peter
