How do you like this SINAD Chart Style?

[amirm]

The regular horizontal SINAD chart is getting out of control with smaller and smaller text size. So an alternative is to have it vertically. Here is what I have. Let me know if it works better for you:

It works for me. The text indicating what was tested is far easier to read.

 

[Blumlein 88]

About 400% better. Keep it this way.

Suggestion. Maybe color code the bars. Break it into 110+, 100+, 90+, 80+ and everything below 80 gets red bars.

Looks unsteady, maybe turn upside down?

No I disagree. The cream rises to the top.

I reversed the order as otherwise, worst performing ones would be on top/getting attention. But yes, emotionally it feels like it is going to fall over.

Anyone know how to do this automatically in excel?

Not fully automatic, but it comes close to it: a tutorial here

Much better!

P.S. Where are the RME ADI-2s on the list?

I'd have to work out the details, but some if-then functions on formatting would do it. Not too terribly hard.

Arnandsway tutorial is basically the same idea.

Both RME ADI-2 DAC and Pro were measured before APx555 and no SINAD was calculated.

Both units are recommended and quite popular.

Amir, it would be great if you can remeasure at least one of them and put in on a chart.

 

[soundwave76]

^ yes, agree!

My Pro version is not the "FS" so not sure how useful it is to put in the chart. A local person though has the DAC and I plan to get and measure it next month.

Pro non-FS is also would be cool to have on a chart.

I've attached a sample, simple workaround file. It uses a simple formula and some conditional formatting to obtain the desired result, and you won't even have to maintain a chart anymore, as it's all done in-cell The character in the formula is Unicode 2588, which can be entered on a Windows machine using the key combination Alt 219.

Hello from France

Looks like the golden age of DAC is here.

Excel's conditional formatting will do it automatically...

 

[DuxServit]

Much better format. Easier to read. No neck pains
