Which DAC measurements do you like to see next?

#Amirm
We want your word...
Best dac overall?
ESS or AKM overall?

Best measuring so far are ES9038 PRO / ES9039 implementations. AK4499EX are very close. Whatever AKM or ESS DACs won't matter as long as these are decently engineered.

Audibly, absolutely none of a difference.

I'd love to see the Mola Mola measured, for sure
There's a new DAC that isn't Tambaqui?

Some Chord products have been reviewed.




You forgot the Qutest. So, @amirm measured pretty much every Chord DACs.;)

All the measurements are posted on the forum for both this product and the PecanPi+.
Thanks, @orchardaudio. While I sure like the way you're publishing measurements, that doesn't immune your products to tiers-verification.;)

T+A DAC 200.
Don't care much about the traditional numbers,inaudible probably (unless it's a broken device) but about the features,look and feel.
 
You shipping yours? :-D
Not mine...yet!

(judging by the price difference,7K in US - 4.7K (street price) in Europe some taxes must be involved,so no European would send it I think :) )
 
I would love to see an Esoteric Grandioso DAC measured! I’m curious as to what $50k gets you. :)
No audible improvement for sure compared to the "average"-quality DACs measured on ASR, and I would not be surprised if its measurement were so-so only. And similarly for the DACs from dCS, Gryphon, Burmester etc.: You will not hear any audible improvement between them and a cheap transparent DAC.
 
The world needs hi-end streaming DACs with UPnP (renderer function only) over Ethernet/WiFi (T.W.I.M.C. - as a general remark - excellent USB-DACs are bulk goods already)!
