Use of だと when not quoting


Is `だと` used similarly to `って` or `は` but it also largely emphasises what's
has come before it so that you can commented?

This is why I get a feeling of it meaning something along the lines of `"This
flavour I'd assumed it would be until now has a certain (strong) emotional
touch to it."` - emphasising the fact that (unexpectedly) the flavour gives a
strong emotional impression despite it being what they had assumed; please
correct me if I'm wrong.

There are multiple distinct と's other than the quoting one, each has quite
important meanings. Here it is **conditional**.

> ここまで想定内の味だと、ある意味感動的よ！  
>  "If it is of this much unsurprising taste, it's impressive in another way!"  
>  = _It tastes so unamazing that almost can be called amazing!_
