Looking at the measurements of both the d70s and d90se (basing it off wolf's measurements) I'm having a hard time deciding which I should get.
Everything seems below audibility and extremely so on the d90se. I notice the d90se has better sinad, jitter, multitone, linearity, snr but the d70s has amazing crosstalk performance. My benchmark hpa4 also has amazing crosstalk performance. I did notice the d70s has lower linearity being below -120.
Do you think for my case I should just get the d70s to maintain the amazing crosstalk performance my hpa4 has or am I overvaluing the importance of that measurement and is the godly performance on the other tests with the d90se the easy choice for my next dac? I like the idea of the signal not bleeding into the other channels.
Guys, I know at this point we are talking about complete audio transparency on both, but please humor me. I'm also trying to learn the importance of each individual measurement.
