How audible/bad is a 82 DB sinad in real listening scenarios? I've read that you have to listen really loud and listen to records with very high dynamic range (that most records on the market don't offer) to make it a real disadvantage. Or is it so that it always be at least a little audible and you will have lower dynamics compared to betters units?
I'm not sure but I think you have to turn it up to ear destroying levels to be able to detect it, but if you are playing it at ear destroying levels how would you hear it before your hearing gets damaged? I'm not an expert but I think some people place a little too much importance on SINAD. Beyond a certain point it doesn't matter. It is a great amp/dac unit IMO.
