Those parameters are already incorporated in frequency response and distortion measurements - essentially they are just their time domain counterparts. For example, a slow slew rate equates to attenuation at high frequencies, overshoot creates harmonic distortion, etc. As far as factors we haven't discovered yet - any good engineer or scientist will agree that we don't know everything and we can't be 100% sure of anything. That doesn't make the tools we have any less useful. We do in fact understand what these measurable parameters sound like to the ear, and that makes them useful. I don't think anyone is claiming that they tell _everything_, but you seem to be discounting them excessively because you don't "believe in" the science behind them. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45323 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
