Can you group the categories somewhat? DACs are too many boxes to check.
It's in there. If you select All under review type and just the Yggdrasil under model you'll see all the measurements Amir has made. I'll have to check if I labelled this one "Full Update" or not.maybe you should use this one for yaggydrasil?

I'll try. I'll group them as DAC (*). There will still be a lot of categories though.Can you group the categories somewhat? DACs are too many boxes to check.
I really dont want to be negative but the new index is a huge pain in the ass, in every aspect possible. So many categories that dont help at all, takes a few seconds to load selections. Really doesnt make sense the way its thought, with so many categories you are supposed to select some, not unselect all and then select a few while having to wait for selctions to load... You have to select different types of review to get all of the measurements avaliable. No search function which is something super basic, doesnt make any sense having a huge index without a search bar... please just revive the old index until the new one gets refined.
Im trying to be constructive dont take it the wrong way i assume you had put some work into this for all of us for free
No offense taken. What would you change to make it better? I can think about mods if you come wishlist or something like it.I really dont want to be negative but the new index is a huge pain in the ass, in every aspect possible.

What's happening with the SINAD charts? (Is this the right thread for this question or are the charts being handled/discussed somewhere else?)I'll do all of these as I have time. Right now my main focus is prepping the measurements sheet for @Koeitje's comparison chart.
The issue with adding the SINAD value to the review tables is that there are typically multiple configurations per unit (example: input/output combinations) which I can't capture unless I choose just one. An interactive comparison chart will let you cycle through various measurements and hardware categories as you like. So from the data side the main issue is logistical: review tables have multiple line items per unit to capture all the various review types, while the interactive chart will have multiple line items per unit for each of its configurations (usually choosing the best case result).What's happening with the SINAD charts? (Is this the right thread for this question or are the charts being handled/discussed somewhere else?)
The older "master" threads all seem to point to this one, and the first post in this thread says the new (interactive) chart is under construction
My request would be to simply add the SINAD value to the current interactive table allowing it to be sorted by SINAD
I know that
- there are then lots of other specs that others would like to see and sort by
- SINAD may not be a valid measure for all categories
but simply adding SINAD is possibly a quick fix to replace the information that the charts provided previously and removes pressure for a full measurements chart
Thanks to anyone who's putting in the effort to create/maintain any of this collated data. It's appreciated
The old chart often had two or three entries depending on config (RCA out, XLR out, S/PDIF In, and so on).Pozz, I agree with all your points
My counter would be that (iirc) the old chart only gave 1 SINAD value - or at least that's how it seemed for DACs.
And therefore, in the short term, a single value in the master review table would be equivalent to the old SINAD charts
OTOH I do appreciate the effort going into the new results tables/charts and I wouldn't want to distract from that
Last I counted there are 49 columns in total for the measurements sheet (it's a Google sheet which feeds the Tableau front end). It includes filters for DAC chips and power amp modules. I'm filling in this data myself right now but I'll need help ensuring accuracy and so on when it's launched.I skimmed through the 4 pages pretty fast and didn't see if this was offered up, but would it be possible to add a column for amps and DACs that are based around packaged designs. Such as filtering on all DACs with a ESS9038 PRO chip, or all Amps based on NC 500 boards.
Also, a note on something like SINAD. I don't know how the backend of Tableau works, and i'm no DBA, but I have dabbled in SQL a little. For SINAD, could you have a table that had three columns , one for device, one for SINAD type, and one for SINAD value. Then when someone is filtering it would pull the SINAD value based on what they were filtering, or a chosen SINAD type? This would cover devices that have multiple SINADs.

Same thing now for price and release date. That data is not easy to come by (high-quality sources, I mean) and I would appreciate help filling it in.
Nope. The compiled data is kept private by Amir's request. Anyone wanting to help out would have to be consistently available to have access.Is the Google Sheet public?

And I think I misread your comment before. I could add filters for DAC chips and power amp modules to the current review table, but I'd have to think about the visual side to avoid clutter. I still disagree with adding SINAD since there are many more values being captured than that. It would be too complex for one sheet.
The main reason that there's so much work now is because the data has evolved over the course of the last six months. Once this initial prep period is over maintaining it won't be hard.
I'll PM you.I agree that trying to keep up with that much data in one sheet would get convoluted, that's what I was suggesting a multi-table approach. I wouldn't mind helping, but wouldn't want to slow the community down if I didn't have enough time/energy to spend on it.
