By affecting the DAC’s analog output s/n ratio.

Digital noise won't affect the analog output s/n ratio. What it will affect is the data integrity. So lost data bits can cause the error correction system to work overtime.

It has nothing to do with lost Data Bits. It's a masking of low level detail such as low level harmonics, like there is a veil present.

What kind of noise and where in the circuit is this noise?

OK, so tell me about it. What is veiling what?

OK. Which pieces of top class audio gear has marce developed?

Why would you think that the skill set is any different?

But top class audio gear isn't about engineering skill, it's about marketing.

or it may be measurable but we don’t understand how what we measure and what we hear correlate.

If the components measure differently, this could be very true.

Does everyone agree that every commercial equipment is built to a price point, its performance in preactice is limited by the knowledge/ experience/expertise of the designers, and can be improved?

No!

The skill of a good engineer is building to a price point.

What do you have against design engineers, with such an insulating statement?
