Help me understand how I might use sinad (as one of the many measurements and features) that might influence my purchasing decision.
I see two ratings in the review. One being preamplifier output and the other amplifier output. From my interpretation, if I am using the amplifier output, the performance is more or less leveled to other options and relatively good performer.
If using the amplifier isn't that the sinad measurement I should be focusing on to get the device with the best relative output at the end of the day?
I have read discussions on dac measurements and their impact on the sound when taking into account all the other losses in the system. I also understand why the overall rating is what it is. That's fine. I am more interested in understanding the performance of the 3800h relative to a similar avr when used to power my speakers.
