I myself have listened to many different dacs and all of them have about the same specs but the expensive ones tend to sound clearer with less distortion. Is there some other way to measure a dac quality other than price?

I’m not a measurements fundamentalist by any means but this article is a good read in so far as it demonstrates measurable differences in DACs.

Interesting to note also that the correlation between price and performance on some of these graphs is, well, variable.
That’s exactly what I needed thanks!
