Period.
Sorry if your ADC has a brickwall filter at 18kHz then all the various DAC filter effects SB3, External etc will be significantly masked. Many DACs and CD players do sound different with different filter types applied. You are measuring through another transfer function, that will change what is recorded. Consistency argument only applies to lowest common denominator. The nuances in the first place came from ADCs in the recording chain, but there are significant differences in what different manufactures achieve. If it were just a linear frequency function effect then it would be closer to the truth, but the effects of musical transients will be processed very differently.
