0dB should be squeaky clean. All the tests I did are basically a full scale test signal in.
http://www.meridianunplugged.com/wiki/index.php?pagename=RMAATests This one specifically shows it's pretty clean at 0dB. http://meridianunplugged.com/downloads/RMAATests/TransporterDigitalAttenuationSPDIFLiveToAnalogLive24bit/Comparison.htm Are you referring to SPDIF out or analog out, the tests above are unblanced analog out (RCA). SPDIF out is "bitperfect". You can also play with my DAC resolution Tests. Which despite people thinking they are useless. I found two problems with my WinAmp configuration with. One was 24bit is explicity shut off. Another was Replay Gain was on and without Replay Gain Tags it defaulted to -6dB. Any decent system today should be able to hear 18-21bits. If you can't hear at least the 17th bit, something is WRONG !! http://www.meridianunplugged.com/wiki/index.php?pagename=DAC%20Resolution%20Test -- 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=78733 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
