I have heard a lot of good things about the HR Max DAC module and I have no reason to doubt that it sounds anything but fantastic, but as an electrical engineer by training I would love to see some graphs elucidating its performance. I figured this would be the perfect forum to ask this question.

Has anyone seen (or produced) FR, noise floor, and jitter measurements of the HeadRoom Max DAC anywhere? Now, I fully understand that measurements don't tell the whole story and I don't want to see this thread turn into another subjectivist versus objectivist flame war, but I think most of us can agree that it is a good thing to have access to measurements along with listening impressions.

This is a topic that we've long desired to address, but we've felt that headphone measurements are more important.

On that front, you'll be glad that we're about a week or so away from our first major rev of the headphone measurements on our site.

The bad news is that it's still probably a little bit down the road before we have measurements of our gear on the site.

Sorry, someday.

Great, new headphone measurments! Just something else to take me away from doing real work!
