Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless

The software was updated in 2022, it is a new version. Get the upgrade for your Denon, good luck.

 The problem is a lack of standards in specs and measurement methods between companies and reviewers.

This is part of the problem. The biggest issue is that companies are either not measuring, or have rudimentary/obsolete gear for doing so.  Perfect example is Schiit.  To save money they had bought this old, obsolete audio analyzer.  Once they saw my measurements, at first started to complain, throw rocks, etc.  Then they got their senses and not only bought the same Analyzer I have, but substantially improved the performance of their gear.  They now publish Audio Precision reports for every product they release -- quite admirable.

Even major companies like Denon are using and producing same measurements as me although sadly they are not releasing them to consumers.

A big barrier is the cost of this gear.  THe hardware is around $30,000.  For a company though, it is reasonable to purchase  but they don't feel pressure yet.  But they will as the value of measurements continues to broaden to more and more consumers.  

Oh I have and that is because they get kicked!

How about you listen to the equipment you review instead of just measuring befor formulating an opinion. 

How about you go and read a review on ASR and watch a video or two before forming an opinion?  They will be devoid of this kind of bickering I am responding to. 

@amir_asr you said:

OK, let’s take a look at the Sound United "Experience Center" where they test the gear as it is meant to be used, in a proper setup. You have two speakers in an untreated room with a mic and a PC. Your in room FR that looks like the Mississippi river during a hurricane.

You don’t have the proper conditions to even listen to MCH gear much less review it, you know that, please stop, ok?

I went to the ASR site about six months or so ago. I read many review (most of the content) and conclusions. I particularly focused on components I had personal experience with. From a detailed analysis of method, reviews and conclusions I realized it was perhaps well intended but naive, misguided and misleading. To the beginner, it embodies the essence of what it takes to send them in the wrong direction if they wish to get good sound quality for a budget.
