But I thought measurements didn't matter?

aj625 thanks for explanation! Can you you provide an example of a inexpensive dac which is close to analog?

Thanks for the link!

Yes, I agree with all your points! Ares II sounds great in my system regardless! I also own Chord Qutest but prefer using Ares II. My system is not perfectly neutral so I am assuming the Ares II distortions work better for me! Do you guys buy the fact that a good analog output stage accounts...

So is it safe to say this is the equal to Briscati M3 at real world prices?

Broken? Do you have link?

I see! Are Schiit dac products reliable. I think Bifrost 2 is at a good price point.

Ok thanks HiFidFan! Schiit always promote Bifrost superior so surprised!

Ok I thought Bifrost had better SINAD. But measurements do show Bifrost 2 has more 2nd harmonic distortion.

This jives with my thinking too! Every review said Bifrost was a warm and rich dac with great timbre. Your test invalidates those claims!

Oh really please explain to all of us here how you determined the Holo May is superior?

It's comforting to know you can get same performance from a Topping D90 for less money!

I saw a great review on YouTube clarifying that Ares II by Denafrips is not NOS. It's really oversampling with linear interpolation. That's why when John Atkinson did a certain test it had a funny error. The on YouTube the guy borrowed a Audio Precision and proved it out. Very impressive!

Thanks again!

Ok thanks! Your experience with so many types class D amps has given me a good perspective of what I can expect!
