On another level
Significado: Far superior to everything else, operating at a completely different standard.
Stronger than 'next level,' being 'on another level' means someone or something exists in a different tier entirely. There's no comparison to be made because the gap is too wide. It expresses amazement at a gulf in quality or ability.
