I recently bought the Stellar Gain Cell DAC/pre-amp, and I'm now wondering if it measures similarly. My greatest concern is the observation of a lack of bass performance and impact, as well as the test result of poor SINAD.

Most every dac he says measures poorly actually sounds very good. Many of the great measuring dacs, based on his particular set of chosen measurements, sound electronic and artificial to me. This is good news for PS Audio. 🙂

A 6k device is failing in basic measurement. Will you be happy with a car which is advertised at making 400HP making 130HP on dyno?
