I've been following this website for a long time, and it is my humble and personal opinion that we kind of reached a saturation in terms of DAC and HP amp measurements.
I think that for quite some time now, ever since say the Topping D50s, we reached a point where anyone that can spend about $200-300 can get an essentially flawless DAC/Amp combo that will last them for life without any reason to upgrade ever.
Speakers are also being measured, which is great and super helpful and important. Likewise for receivers/streamers etc.
What I, personally, am missing is more measurements of other hardware types, and particularly audio interfaces.
These can be measured just like DACs and HP amps, but they also have other aspects that are worth measuring such as latency and ADC.
I think everyone from hobbyist musicians such as myself to semi-pro gear enthusiasts can benefit from these measurements (maybe even actual professionals, IDK).
Anyway, I know it depends on a lot of things (people send Amir their gear, donate, measure themselves, companies send items etc), and I am in no position to be anything but grateful (all of my own purchases were heavily based on this site, as well as a few close friends'), so I'm just expressing my thoughts, and I'd be happy to read what others are thinking in this regard.
Cheers,
Yehonatan
