Based on the known facts that the AV10 and AVM90 both have better than 100 dB SINAD, excellent IMD, DNR, and reference class ESS DAC chips, It seems fair to consider the AV10 is not overpriced relatively speaking. The Arcam AV41 may be the best value, it does not have the ESS reference class DAC, and will likely not measure as good as the AV10 and AVM 90 based on track record on ASR, but for $5,250 listed, $4,200 on sale price right now it is tough to beat.
The most expensive Storm and Trinnov cost a lot more, do not seem to be using reference class DACs seems pricey relatively to the other 2. The NAD almost looks ridiculous when you look at the specs, for $7,999.
