I keep rerecording wav until the max peak is exactly -.1dB If rmaa is designed to renormalize then, I agree we are just factoring in and out different pieces of hardware.
The two analog tests end up being the exact same test. Because 98 - 24 = 76dB on analog knob and 0 on digital. And 86 - 12 = 76dB on analog knob and 0 on digital. Are the exat same conditions. So they perfectly overlay. I never had to touch tascam for this set of tests once calibrated. And all recordings peaked close to -.1dB. It's two different starting points though. One pair I'm at 98 and want to get down to 76dB two ways. One by analog the other by digital by the same amount (24dB). And just measure the difference. The other I'm at 86 and want get down to 76dB two ways. One by analog the other by digital by the same amount (12dB). And measure that difference. Your method of testing is equally factoring in the ADC performance of the sound card into the results. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78477 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
