I've already posted the following blind test:

One device is Lynx Aurora 16, the other one is Behringer ADA-8000.
No information was given whether A=Aurora and B=Behringer or vice versa,
and audio engineers were asked to judge.
They failed, the outcome was equally distributed, so it's fair to say
that not even trained ears were able to to hear a difference.
No surprise.
With *that* test file (distorted, probably clipped, 1 dB dynamic range)
even a 6-bit AD/DA would sound perfect.

It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris
