Yes, both are square waves at 0dB. Unfortunately the message board resizes the images. Integer multiples are *essential* when looking at this type of test with square waves. That's why I suspect that Mr. Rockwell is unaware of this fact despite the fancy gear (I like his camera review BTW) :-). Bottom line, the ugly looking spectrum is due to the Benchmark DAC1's 110kHz upsampling (why did they pick this and not something better like 176 or 192!?) unless proven otherwise! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98661 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
