ASR only likes DACs from obscure makers in China that you’ve never heard of.
This is BS, he is the only one that gives unbiased and almost complete set of test measurements.
He says he doesn't say what he likes and dislikes the sound of , because it would be subjective only.
He is there to supply for those "fortunate to understand them", completely unbiased sets of measurements.
And for those that don't/can't understand them, TO BAD! make an effort to learn how to read them.

Yes and no
if the proper caveats are included.


Yes and Yes

OK the proper caveat would be

"Trust both ears and measurements as they go hand in hand. That’s the way all good audio equipment is made, with good electronic engineering design and hours of testing and measuring, then listening, and if need be, design changes using measurements/test again and listening again."

Any designer that doesn’t do this, I suggest all to give a very wide birth to, as they are snake oil peddlers.

Trust your ears not the MEASUREBATORS !
Trust both, as they go hand in hand, that way your not kidding yourself.
