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.Best dac overall?

Thanks, @orchardaudio. While I sure like the way you're publishing measurements, that doesn't immune your products to tiers-verification.All the measurements are posted on the forum for both this product and the PecanPi+.
I didn't realize it's been measured !There's a new DAC that isn't Tambaqui?
Mola Mola:I'd love to see the Mola Mola measured, for sure.
Also, a Mergin / Neumann interface.
And the last RME UFX III.
You shipping yours? :-DT+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.
Not mine...yet!You shipping yours? :-D
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.I would love to see an Esoteric Grandioso DAC measured! I’m curious as to what $50k gets you.![]()
