S/N isn't Dynamic Range either.
Doesn't the SINAD of 104 dB measured by Amir correlate with the THD+N spec given as -108 dB?
Doesn't the Dynamic Range of 124 dB measured by Amir correlate with the SNR spec given as 130 dB?
To me it looks like Amir's measurements are a little lower then the claimed specs but not by a large amount.

THD+N is the reciprocal of SINAD, thus making them interchangeable with each other.There appears to be considerable confusion as to the actual definitions of S/N, SINAD, THD, THD+N and Dynamic Range. They are not all the same and although related, they are in no way interchangeable.

I think you can choose what to show on the dashboard and they're what Amir prefers to use since the beginning. I could be wrong though.Why we need them both on the dashboard, I don't know.

I think that established levels of audibility of various measurements could be a yardstick for selection of gear. Those who need better to salve there doubts could aim(spend?) higher. This could be part of the test result conclusions, e.g. meet that or exceed it.
I hope orchardaudio will not throw in the towel on that DAC as it shows very promising results, eg IMD in the -15dB to -35dB range, or the high DNR.
Let's hope the problems Amir was able to disclose can be fixed before production.
Frankly, for a price of $500 I'm not thrilled with this product - no USB, so so performance ..
