You seem to have not gotten the point of my response and my saying that the below was not a bad measurement, and to me looks like a "healthy" driver, though not competitive. But if the Topping were "clipping" the Susvara, the AHB2 was doing so equally at those dynamic extremes. And no where did I say the Susvara was defective. To rephrase: "Given how my recent two HE1000se units had distortion equivalent to lightly damaged diaphragms, would you be happy if you paid to receive a good Susvara, but HiFiMan had the audacity to sell you a unit with probably inaudible but highly measurable distortion artifacts evident of defects, when other units without those defects do exist?"I would've heard it EASILY as IMD and losing dynamics if I know my amp is losing steam. His graphs show his amps is starting to clip the Susvara and not that the Susvara is defective lol
I do agree that his 104 dB and 114 dB measurements are excessive, but they at least point out objective excellence where due and in service to advancing technology.
