Popular Post audiobomber Posted April 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2020 A couple of excerpts regarding measurements: the "Power" that sites like ASR are gaining is really concerning and detrimental to the end sound quality IME.The trouble with the guys on ASR is that they ONLY judge a products performance via "simplistic" technical measurements and IME this does a massive disservice to the general HiFi community - especially those who are scared to listen for themselves... As far as I'm concerned, in the case above, if you want "Best measurements", then buy the cheaper unit and be Happy and "Laugh" at the rest of us but DON"T dare say the new design sounds worst because in some areas it has poorer measured performance...You will be surprised how many (it not all) designer I know will privately agree that standard "static" measurements have little refection on sound quality (try as they might to measure and "quantify" sound quality) - but just as in so many walks of life are too afraid to have there voices counted... https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-line-level/331363-ak4499eq-dac-25.html#post6130649 JohnW is John Westlake, a renowned designer.
