Don't we know how to make a transparent DAC yet?

We know how to make ones that measure so well that they must surely be sonically
blameless yet certain ppl insist they differ still.

Some ppl even say they're better when a toob is used after the DAC !

This configuration always fascinates me. If the DAC isn't (sufficiently)
transparent then putting a valve (tube) in series with it cannot make the
combination transparent. Yet sometimes I see the T word used to describe
"better" in this context.

(Note, before the deluge starts, that I am not commenting on anyone's
sonic taste. Merely commenting on the words sometimes used to describe
that taste.)
