"I am pretty sure you can measure what we hear" In practice, no

*Theoretically* we should be able to correlate subjective impressions of audio electronics with measurements. But we can't do it now. And it's not a topic of research interest because there's not enough market to be gained by knowing the answer.

Amir's measurements are only useful if/when they reveal obvious engineering flaws. In the case of DACs, that's pretty rare. Why rank DACs by SINAD when the SINAD results for almost all devices is below audibility? That's not going to tell you anything about how they sound. It's also not scientific.
