Kohlar the Unkilled
Time for some ale
I imagine the OP crafted his daedric set when he reached 90 smithing, and didn't realize that he could improve it again once he got to 100 smithing.
For so long I've seen people say that Daedric was the best armor, better even than dragon plate. This is not true. Daedric is only better if you don't upgrade it. Daedric has a better base armor rating than dragon plate. But if you upgrade both dragon plate is the better armor. My dragon plate is 50+ points better as a set than daedric and I still need to upgrade the boots. The Skyrim Wiki and my own experience can confirm this. DRAGON PLATE IS THE BEST HEAVY ARMOR! It has the highest armor rating AFTER being upgraded. To make and upgrade a full set of Dragon Plate you'll need 16 scales and 8 bones. Happy Hunting!!!
Does it really matter when you get to that level? It's so far above cap, it ceases to have meaning, doesn't it?For so long I've seen people say that Daedric was the best armor, better even than dragon plate. This is not true.

The best armor can be made better through Enchanting and Alchemy, to almost an infinite level. My daedric and my dragonbone are always neck and neck depending on which I'm improving at the time. But when your armor is say, 960 for Daedric and 964 for Dragonplate, there's no discernable difference.

I use light armour on my current char. I am currently waiting for high smithing/enchantment before I cap out Ancient Falmer armour.My personal favorite is Vamp with scaled gauntlets and boots -or- vamp with dragonscale gauntlets and boots (it depends on whether my spellsword is male or female - female for scaled since they only where diadem's and dragonscale for males since they wear Morokei).

Why would they make a cap that's so low? I didn't even realize that there was a cap. This whole time... I've literally wasted hours smithing and enchanting, just so I could get a few more points in armor, all for nothing after 567??
