I couldn't resist.

The way to determine dynamic range is to play a -60dB signal at 1khz. That is the hump you see.

Dynamic Range is around 130dB.

Wow! That is remarkable; too bad there isn't a speaker (I can think of at any price) with the same capability.

Actually, what is more indicative/impressive of a fine sonic quality, is the nearly flat THD vs. Frequency. That wholeheartedly comes from the actual amplifier design itself which is due to your collaboration with the proprietor of DAC, Tommy O.

Best,
Anand.

I wish amp manufacturers would stick with the practice of stating wattage at 8 Ohm. There is a lot more to the amp than a wattage at 8 Ohm number, but it is a useful reference point.

A lot of class D amp manufacturers put the 4 Ohm figure in the product name, and every time I see a class D amp I assume the wattage is suspect.

It's good to see some measurements, but it doesn't quite cleanse the bad taste of overstated marketing.
