I use the A-weighted AES17 dynamic range figure as a general guide to converter quality as a good number requires excellence in all aspects of the design and implementation, and it seems to correspond closely to my listening perceptions.
The Cranbourne s D-A scored 120.7dB and I listed in the review some of the high-end devices with comparable scores, but to give you a bigger picture the best D-A I ve measured to date scored 129dB and the worst 104dB. The Dangerous Music D-box+ scored a surprising 107dB, the Burl B2 114.5dB, and the Lynx Hilo 120.5dB.
