Thanks.Thanks for the works. This summary thread is very helpful.
Is price/performance charts available somehow?
About the charts, I have no plans to make them currently.

Only if you normalize the performance value where maybe -120dB would get a rating of 100 and -85dB would get a rating of 50. But that wouldn't factor in other measurements and ofcourse there is more to a product then straight measured performance. I see what you're getting at though but I don't think shopping advice is what ASR is intended for.Is price/performance charts available somehow?
Thanks @bobboooThis is great, just what I was looking for to compare measurements, thanks. One thing that would make it even more useful though was if the text was searchable instead of images, so I can just use my browser's 'find on page' function to search for any particular device. Would this be possible? Maximum frequency response deviation from flat between 20Hz and 20kHz would also be a nice addition.
These charts will also make their way off the site, which makes it pretty likely that they'll be viewed out of context as well.
Oh dear.
poz, I think you have got some numbers mixed up. For instance Topping D50 was -109 dB where as you have got it down as -106. Let me look at the others just to make sure that we have got the database right.Comparison of DAC SINAD Measurements

I got the numbers from the SMSL SU-8 review. I'll change it to the figure Amir posted in the updated Topping D50 review.poz, I think you have got some numbers mixed up.

I'll get to it at some point.Dynamic range chart can also be prepared for DACs.
That's not easy to do. many of the products have different prices, availability depending on what market (EU, ASIA, US)Is price/performance charts available somehow?

What @M00ndancer said about assessing a product's overall performance and features is absolutely correct. Showing the true cost of obtaining a piece of gear is also beyond what I can do.That's not easy to do. many of the products have different prices, availability depending on what market (EU, ASIA, US)
Taxes and import duties also play a big role. So you have to find a retailer in your part of the world and compare prices.
There are other criteria that you have to take in account. Like build and functions. Doing a price / performance chart is not necessary.
Best amp = Atom. Best DAC = Khadas board if you use the SINAD as the only measurement.
Do they have the features I need? No.
You'll have to do the legwork yourself.
It's a sum of the features, quality, performance and the price you're willing to pay.
HooooooopefullyDo tell????
