Sorry if this is an obvious question, but I can't seem to figure it out: In Amir's testing of DAC/Heaphone combo units, is there a way to compare the SNR of the headphone amp of those types of devices? For example, this chart appeared in a recent review of the Dx7 Pro:
The RME ADI-2 is there, along with the Topping DX7; but the rest are all headphone amps with no DAC. I recall reading a comment from Amir that he does not like to mix DAC/headphone amps devices with pure headphone amps in charts. But how would one go about comparing the amp portion of the Benchmark DAC3 vs. the RME ADI-2, for example (we have charts of the DAC comparisons for those units)?
As I ask this I am not even sure if I am misunderstanding something here...
