Which DAC measurements do you like to see next?

[amirm]

Thanks. Can you link to the test files that you use?

I can try to dig around to find the easiest software to use.

My analyzer generates them so I don't have that many files to share.

it seems yulong released last month or so a new dac/amp with ESS ES9038PRO chip https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/...ecoding-preamp-headphone-amplifier-all-in-one, so it would be interesting to see if it has ESS 'hump'

I really wanna see Asgard 3 review with 4490 akm chip included. There is really no all in one option like this in the market with good build and strong amp. I wanna see how it measures.

We already know it will measure like schiit.

XiangSheng DAC-05B maybe in it's "strongest" version?

2xAK4497EQ
Dual toroidal transformer
XMOS
OPA627

This is being praised in a lot of forums. No measurements to be found i believe.

The 4490 akm add-on in Jotunheim was tested here:
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...nts-of-schiit-jotunheim-with-ak4490-dac.6431/
There's no reason to believe Asgard with ak4490 card will perform drastically different, except that there is no balanced output.
So around 96dB SINAD == 16 bits performance, bundled with magni 3+ performance amplifier with better/bigger volume knob.

+1 for this

The made TEAC NT-505 measurement was great, but this type of unit can be completely different if you could measure it as network streamer (not as USB DAC) - the weakest point of this unit is the USB "gate" (unfortunately not as good like the XMOS XU208/XU216 types)
Since this unit is mainly a Streamer (from local network/internet) the most interesting measurements for most of the users is this capability.
The NET board is brand newly developed and I assume much-much higher quality than the USB input. (I guess Lumin D2/T2 level at least) YT review (see the ENG sub)
Is is possible to re-measure the NT-505 from network as source?

Many many thanks in advance!
