You dont need to rely on that look at the measurments , far better than the recordings most plays and far better than human hearing ( in the very best humans in a home settling maybe at 13 bits a good day ). I think I managed -76db in my own room in my own listening position . Test as follows my typical listening level , use test signals with diminish loudness . (Best case ear against tweeter volume at full tilt -112dB) Devices ( any ) with flat frequency response low noise and low distorsion are simply not audible , most small signal electronics . Power amps driven outside of spec and the general gain scaling errors and other missmatches complivate things sometimes.
