I’ll let Bill respond to you, but the fact is that DR and SNR ARE determined by noise (and the resolution and accuracy of the digitizer for digital signals), with any type of received electromagnetic signals - its’s typically THE determining factor. Noise determines the DR/SNR of received/measured Audio, electrical, radio signals and light. You only have to play an old LP or listen to a radio signal to experience that.
The distinction I was making earlier is that DxOMark Landscape DR is based solely on read noise whereas PhotonsToPhotos PDR uses a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) where noise is all forms of noise not just read noise (for example photon (shot) noise).
