The DAE quality would be lousy [...]. This is a very presumptuous statement! You cannot assume that an alternative interface would be of lousy quality. Maybe it is a million times better?

Note: I am not saying that there is an alternative interface or anything like that... just that your statement is fallacious. Best regards, Anton -- "I've not lost my mind.
