Definitely not the sure way to buy a DAC based on measurements.
But it is also interesting that many of the younger audiophiles do prefer a type of sound that is a bit different than what our age group may prefer.
Of course for the most part we listen to very different music genres as well. I really do not listen to synthesized bass and all kinds of sound effects that is so prevalent to the Deep House, Trance, Rap, etc...
We do have to keep in mind that every age group tends to have their preferred representatives.
How many on the following list are appealing to us?
