SINAD is lazy, pointless, and doesn't really tell us anything useful at all.
I want absolute A-weighted residual noise in uV in the absence of signal, and I want THD at arbitrary levels separately. This has been the standard for many decades. How hard is it?
Residual noise in uV vs maximum output level in volts tells you what the DR of your gear can actually achieve.
For modern consumer digital line levels use 2.0 V, after all, that is the standard.
As for any for amplifier levels, use 1 watt at 8ohms. (2.83V) You know, the value that has been used for 50 years or so. Not some arbitrary number dreamed up. Not 5W into 4 ohms or some other stupid number.
