This is a cool chart. I like it very much. If I had to guess based on my experiences, the Classe DAC-1 would sit somewhere closer to the top right corner, and the Audial Model S I have (with a good SPDIF converter) would sit at least a few, sizable notches above the Octave but still towards the smoother category.

Looking good! I have not heard all the DAC's on the chart but of the ones I have heard I think the chart is pretty much dead on. Although that's IMHO. blah blah and YMMV.

Amazing chart. I love how simple to understand things like this are, while still communicating everything necessary. Very insightful.

We are going have to try and be patient. I'm not, but trying. It will happen. Sooner than later I hope. Either that or I buy a Yggy, hope my wife doesn't see the name change from the Gungnir and forgets to look at our bank statement this month. Hey, you only live once. And die once.  walk the plank2
