Definitely amazing spec numbers with some of the latest technogies.
Admittedly skeptical though because from what I've been reading, the same old arguments still exist. I suppose one doesn't know for sure until they actually listen to it.
But for what its worth, I'm thinking because decades of recording masters were tweaked during process relevant to harmonic distortions present in studio playback systems, you have to be wary of your end goal.
Removing these distortions now in modern equipment, though accurate, no longer replicates what the recording engineer heard through speakers/headphones at that time. Even to the point of sounding unpleasant. Perhaps this is one of the aspects contributing to the criticism of low THD by some.
I see a trend lately where tone controls and other voicing devices are being embraced in systems using ultra low distortion equipment. Somewhat ironic going to war for low distortion on one hand for accuracy, then messing with it on the other.
At some point I suppose low distortion accuracy will eventually show up both in recording and home systems. The balancing act will likely still be there. But hopefully easier so that we can just sit back and enjoy.
