I'm not so sure it isn't. My upstream Topping DAC and downstream VTV Purifi amp are measurably ultra-low distortion. The Sonic Frontiers wouldn't fit that description, (though it is likely lower distortion than most tube preamp).
However I'm totally convinced that small levels of 2nd/3rd order distortion contribute to the tube effects of smoothness, warm, and (in some cases), a sense of depth or ambience.
