HI Amir,Interesting suggestion. In such a graph, you wouldn't be able to see and identify the rest of the products. You are OK with that?
If I was to be presumptuous I would suggest that your members are only interested in "very good" and above

No, I like to see which devices performed poorly or middling, also. But I'd be OK with only seeing maybe 20-30 total if the full chart is linked.HI Amir,

No Ground. No Ground Loops.Why did SMSL decide to use a figure-8 power cable on this model? To shave a few cents off the BOM?
Nice proof of concept. CSS for mobile needs work but that is easy enough. I'd eliminate the outline around each bar. Biggest question is whether this can be embedded in a post ot just has to be linked to. Forum software has a lot of limitations/restrictions.First pass: https://codepen.io/verymickey/full/Barrdwx
Right now it's just using local data to get a feel for the presentation, tomorrow I can see about having it pull from the db, linking back to articles, refining etc.

Why did they do it on this model and not the DO100?No Ground. No Ground Loops.
(ok taht's oversimplified)
But having the Case and Audio GND not referenced to mains PE has lot advantages.
Even better would be to uses a "function grounding" and having a Mains PE Screen around the transformer but not referenced to audio Ground
I can’t think of any reason to use this plug other then it "looks more professional"Why did they do it on this model and not the DO100?
I see no Technical reason for a device like this to need more then USB power.SMSL delivers an excellently engineered DAC with my favorite features of included power supply
Depends what big companies you have on mind, most pro gear from guys like Universal, Merging, RME, Lynx, Apogee, would ace measurments.If these smaller companies are able to get this kinda performance out of these chip dacs for this kinda price why can't the larger companies with big financial backing get close or equal these dynamic and low distortion numbers in their mid and upper priced AVR's? Or any of their gear..is it a money thing, not cost effective?
I took a beating selling a TEAC UD505 because of degraded pixels. It was 100% functional but I couldn't move it at anywhere near a reasonable price.I would imagine the best thing is to reduce the display brightness as much as possible. Any phosphor LEDs are just like OLEDs and they fade over time. More brightness = more fade.
Thanks. Yea I am still unsure exactly how useful this ultimately will be especially given Amir's updated Review Index page - but thats why we do the quick PoC.Nice proof of concept.

What a price growt! So I was lucky to get the DO100 for 185€ one month ago...Wanted to get the DO100 but price increased from 215€ to 240€ on amazon. I'm probably gonna get the D-6 now

There’s no need for an earth connection. It’s a class II device. That’s why a C8 socket is used. Besides, there is not much space for a C18 socket.Why did SMSL decide to use a figure-8 power cable on this model? To shave a few cents off the BOM?
That’s for a Class I device. This DAC is a Class II device.but even then:
IEC 60320 c5 is the way to go for small low power devices
Even harder ( impossible) to hear .I think we need a new way to dislpay the ranking. Even at full size, the device names are getting hard to read
I vote for a histogram!
Why this obsession for OLED displays lately ? Is is cheaper than LCD (that we know last longer)?I took a beating selling a TEAC UD505 because of degraded pixels. It was 100% functional but I couldn't move it at anywhere near a reasonable price.

The OLED novelty has worn off. I think it's to the point of looking generic and disposable. I prefer LCD's because they last forever. Especially when it's only to display settings etc. It's not a high end television.Why this obsession for OLED displays lately ? Is is cheaper than LCD (that we know last longer)?
Talk about wear and tear, and the gear they sit in are sometimes very expensive too !
I would prefer an OLED if they used a standardized and easily replaceable part. LCD's are impossible to source replacements for since they are all custom even if they have a longer life. They are also much harder to read.The OLED novelty has worn off. I think it's to the point of looking generic and disposable. I prefer LCD's because they last forever.
