"This is because the issue has been swept under the rug, and the design community pretends that it has never been a problem. This is IMO one of the major elements at the core of why digital audio has not advanced as far as a lot of us have hoped."
Maybe. But a satellite modem can recieve a KU band analog waveform, tune to it, extract analog data (of a digital waveform) at rates over 100 mHz, convert it to digital then extract a terrestrial signal from it. All the while maintaining a variety of serial, ethernet, front panel UI and other real time processes and controls in essentially an error free environment. These boards are populated with DACs, ADCs, communication buses, etc. all the while conversion continues uneffected.
These things are far more sophisticated than an Redbook CD player, weigh less and cost less than many high end audio players.
RFI is a big issue but it's something worked out in the design.
My take is that maintaining power levels and bias voltages would be the key to doing a good DAC design and that the importance of noise suppression should be a no brainer. But what do I know?
