My favorite audio resource for those designing or evaluating audio amps and DACs is NwAvGuy's blog[0]. The blog posts explain what performance parameters matter, what don't, and evaluates the performance of various products and components.
Equally interesting is the mysterious story about the anonymous author himself [1]

- segfaultbuserr 7y agoI have one Objective-2 amplifier right now on my desktop. Great fidelity, reliable and robust. It's the best DIY project I've ever done. Thanks NwAvGuy!
- kurthr 7y agoThanks for this... I've done some double blind audiophile equipment testing and it's important to have a source to send folks to before and after.
