The fact I can hear a super slight difference in snare attack and tail switching between NOS and SHARP filters on the RME ADI-2 DAC already suggests there must be some audible difference.
I could see Babyface pro FS sounding almost exactly the same, but I bet a snare drum would be slightly different from the RME ADI-2 DAC
you mentioned products aimed towards professional market. I read Gearspace all the time and they're constantly debating on which 2,000 to 10,000$ d/a and a/d converters sound better and sharing their experince, there's LYNX hilo, Merging Anubis/Hapi, Lavry Gold, Prism Lyra, Crane song solaris, some even say the DCS 952 from 1995 is still top of line (still in many mastering studios btw)
from my research, you need top of the line headphones and top of the line speakers, and to learn how to listen, the differences are very subtle minuscule in that most people without trained ears and high end equipment probably can't tell a difference.
As for me, I can barely tell a difference myself, and I question the need for such high end converters in this day now after watching these videos, but I'm probably just too inexperienced to hear the sound.
