I was just reading the asr of the new topping d90se and the gustard x26.
Both measure great but the 3rd harmonic of the new topping is-130db and the gustard is-115.
John Curl has studied this and finds that the odd order harmonics is really bad.
No company ever indicates which order of harmonic is being produced by their product.
I can tell you, this is what makes a product sound musical.
Remember, no instruments or human voice ever goes above about 4khz.
But it's the harmonics that allow you to tell the difference between a violin playing a c note or if it's a piano.
