I think you miss-understand the purpose of the plots: the noise floor indicates the level of jitter in the signal. The 'sidebands' at -120db are part of the J-test signal. That's why I said that it's the -comparison- and not the -absolute- that's important!
So it's not a question of hearing noise at >170dB down, but rather of hearing the effects of the jitter that the J-test signal is designed to expose! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21628 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
