Here's a quote from modifier/designer Alex Peychev(APLHIFI)'s forum about your "smoking" measurements:
"Those guys will never learn. At -60db you will need to go and put your ear on the speaker driver in order to hear something, so who cares about -130db noise floor of your digital source which, for example, is usually brought 60db up with a regular tube amplifier. Here is the puzzling thing; the NWO-2.5 has barely -105db noise floor and barely -86db (0.0056%) THD+N. Note the tube stage is non-NFB. According to Mr. CEO, his Transporter should sound around 2 times better than the NWO-2.5 WOW!" To prove your statement isn't "pure hype," why don't you contact Mr.Peychev and one of the audio clubs on audiocircle.com and arrange for a shootout with his NWO-2.5? Invite the other modifiers to bring their modified Transporters too. seanadams;158255 Wrote: > To be clear, I am talking about objectively measurable performance (SNR, > jitter, dynamic range etc), which admittedly is not the be-all-end-all > of perceived sound quality.
