It is only because I wanted to reach an optimum setup for my daily use when it comes to listening on headphones that I started this thread. I've got the Hifiman Arya (one of the best rated headphones) and the THX 789 (one of the best amps) and so thought maybe there would be some way I would be able to optimize on the DAC side as well. Saw say the similar measuring Matrix Element X (with the ESS pro chip etc.) being sold at 8 times the price of say the M500 (measuring per their website data and provided it's well implemented) and thought maybe there is a sweet spot for DACs too...seems measurements, SINAD etc. tell you everything you need to know about how a DAC sounds and so in essence Matrix Element X = M500 or any other DAC that has similar or same SINAD.
Thanks for clarifying this...saved a lot of money there for most people. Though, would love to hear from those fortunate enough to hear different DACs (similar measuring) and confirm if this objectivist theory.
