The better one is the one which suits your needs? Differences are so small between K-1 and D810 in reality that lens selection and perhaps body features are the factors in play. Like tilt-screen -> pick K-1. Like Sigma ART series -> pick Nikon (or Canon).

What are you smoking? In Sony's R2 it is held back only by artificial 30 second limitation where 14bit mode drops to 12bit. DxOmark readings have very little to do with real world.
Check this: Photographic Dynamic Range versus ISO Setting
K-1 vs. A7R2.

In those cases at least Sony applies different analog gain scheme before the image processor. ISO640 is almost as good in real world as base ISO of 100.
This tech was licensed to R2.
I wished that the 42MP chip would be in K-1 but that did not happen. It really shines at high ISO.

Not so always. For example Sony a7r2 has two native ISO-values. One of ISO100 and another stage at ISO640 where it has better dynamic range than ISO400.
A7s has three points where it is better to use certain ISO values above something else. ISO3200 on that body gives better IQ than at ISO1600.
Leica Monochrom is 3rd case. Dun remember exact points but its DR is like sawtooth waveform across the ISO range.

It requires rock solid support. Anything moves or vibrates and the output is at best about the same as normal exposure. Before that focus must be nailed. Forget AF with PS.

In Finland the prices for lenses are so ridiculous that Canon 5D4 with few good L-lenses equals K-1 kit with new d-fa zooms. And the new Canon is now in the same ballbark as Sony ff-cameras in terms of performance.
Of these two it is the Canon which wins in my book thanks to supreme selection of special lenses like the WA T-SE and excellent 90mm T-SE.
Easy to joke about Canon but they have all use cases covered and if/when ML firmware hits mk4 it leaves all others eating dust in terms of features. Display gain alone is worth it.

OK, 101 it is. Anyway it crossed some kind of magical barrier which I thought to be the upper limit for a long time.

I remember 645Z got a score of 104 or some such. Dunno why it is not there.

They should test PS dynamic range just because :)
