It seems like its becoming a trend. People think they can predict if something is good based on biased measurements instead of listening.Having double the arrays is a good thing. So is I2S (hopefully without te clocking so better external clocks on DDCs are actually meaningful?)
Still, I can’t get excited from these measurements: https://alpha-audio.net/review/multitest-the-best-dac-for-1000-euros/2. Distortion is mainly on uneven harmonics, dynamic range is around 24 bit and the roll-off on the NOS doesn’t look right. There is aliasing but with some very steep dips and not how NOS should roll off both in theory and practice.
You may not care if this is a great sounding DAC but without having heard it this is what raises a bit of an eyebrow with me.
Everyone wants to be an expert and all it takes is a measurement rig apparently.
