Dynamics is the range from the quietest to the loudest sound. Esther's specs list 113dB. Questyle's web page does not list QP1R's dynamic range, nor does it list SNR. For reference, Cayin N6 has 110dB dynamic range, while the summit-fi DAP Lotoo PAW Gold has a very high 121dB dynamic range and the Chord Mojo has an outstanding 125dB dynamic range.
Transients are the sudden, quick sounds you hear at the beginning of sounds, like the immediate crash of a cymbal or the pluck of a guitar string.
I personally don't find Esther Analog lacking in either respect but I haven't compared it to every source out there yet
