and I'm not talking about the various threads pertaining to Fixup
How relevant is signal to noise ratio?
I mean I often see hardware manufacturers touting SNR over 90 as being evidence of pristine sound, but I just checked my Creek OBH-11 amp and it's SNR is 60 or 65. While the Creek isn't an Orpheus amp there are still many people who find it fine. So I'm wondering if SNR is an all or nothing measure of sound quality, or if it needs to be considered in conjunction with other measures.
Incidentally, what's the SNR of the Meta42 amps?
