The regular horizontal SINAD chart is getting out of control with smaller and smaller text size. So an alternative is to have it vertically. Here is what I have. Let me know if it works better for you:

Looks unsteady, maybe turn upside down?

I reversed the order as otherwise, worst performing ones would be on top/getting attention. But yes, emotionally it feels like it is going to fall over. :)

Suggestion. Maybe color code the bars. Break it into 110+, 100+, 90+, 80+ and everything below 80 gets red bars.
Anyone know how to do this automatically in excel?

I'd have to work out the details, but some if-then functions on formatting would do it. Not too terribly hard.

Arnandsway tutorial is basically the same idea.

Much better!

P.S. Where are the RME ADI-2s on the list?
Both RME ADI-2 DAC and Pro were measured before APx555 and no SINAD was calculated.

Both units are recommended and quite popular.

Amir, it would be great if you can remeasure at least one of them and put in on a chart.

My Pro version is not the "FS" so not sure how useful it is to put in the chart. A local person though has the DAC and I plan to get and measure it next month.

Pro non-FS is also would be cool to have on a chart.

I've attached a sample, simple workaround file. It uses a simple formula and some conditional formatting to obtain the desired result, and you won't even have to maintain a chart anymore, as it's all done in-cell :) The character in the formula is Unicode 2588, which can be entered on a Windows machine using the key combination Alt 219.

Looks like the golden age of DAC is here.

Sincerely yours

Excel's conditional formatting will do it automatically...
