Can we have a thread with up to date bar-chart DAC "rankings"?

[rdodev]

As title asks, it would be great to have a thread with up-to-date bar-chart rankings of DACs you've tested -- which you tend to include with each review. Thanks!

Sure. We could use this one or create a new one.

I'd say it would be better one you create given your community acumen as we all, you know, being the person leading the tests and making the charts

My vote is to create a new thread and lock it so you (Amir) can keep it up to date and without any comments or questions. It will become more of a reference.

We could have a separate forum for all the charts with the best gear,,, maybe call it ‘ what’s good forum ‘ or ‘ the top shelf ‘ ,,, no no I have it ‘ what’s best forum ‘

Good suggestion. Made both changes.

Thanks very much. Also thanks for the clarification about "qualitative buckets" and not strictly numerical! Excellent, Great, Good, Average. I use the Topping D50 (as you've done a few times) what separates Excellent from Great. And then Melokin separating Great from Good and then JDS Element to separate Good from Average.
