RE: Should be "Do USB filters make DACs MEASURE bette?r"...

Good post. I agree. When Amir is good, such as with most of his DAC measurements, he is great. Especially as he has trended toward a set of standard tests he runs that can be directly compared to other reviews he's done.

Reading his tests can also be very frustrating in other regards, such as his phono preamp measuring. You may as well throw that data out the window. He believes a 50 ohm resistive short SINAD test paints the broader picture and that means high current noise designs, such as the Cambridge that sits at the top of his winners pile for the rest of time, gets unrealistic scores you could never reproduce in the real world with a real world cartridge and are falsely hailed as being something greater than their real world performance merits.
