Here's a picture of the ratio of SINAD/$ for all the DACs measured here with SINAD>100 (if you let the <100 ones in, then the dongles like the apple USB C dominate due to price). Obviously there are other factors in play with many of these comparisons, as some of these only have USB, some also include a HP amp while some don't, some have XLR and RCA, etc.
The top one here is the zorloo, but that doesn't have very high output level, and the prices vary around a lot for the topping products depending on where you get them (I used either msrp, or what Amir listed paying for them)
FYI, the items here are still ordered the same as in the master graph by increasing SINAD, just with each one divided by price. Thoughts on how to systematically evaluate bang for the buck?
