I played a bit with the NX1 and A6000 studio scene RAW files from dpreview and my first impression is that the DR on NX1 seems slightly better than A6000. Here are the output crops from both after pushing the shadows on the gray bars:
Both cameras were at ISO 100 and the exposure for both was 1/40s @ f5.6 so it is a fairly apples to apples comparison. Under default ACR conversion the samsung image was slightly darker (though not drastically so). Sharpness and noise reduction were set to 0 in ACR. I pushed the A6000 image by 3 stops and the NX1 images by around 3.3-3.4 stops to ensure that the grayscale patches have about the same intensity.To me that Samsung output seems to have less noise across all patches despite being slightly larger.
On a seperate I also played a little bit with using dcraw to generate linear raw output from both cameras without any tone curve applied, and interestingly in that the NX1 actually seems to produce a slightly brighter output.
