Well, it depends on how it's doing it. The only thing I could figure out how to do on the software I downloaded was real-time analysis of something playing on my PC. This, of necessity, would included the basic noise and distortion built into my PC's audio system. The software that Hiro recommended seemed to have the capability for me to profile the system so that this could be subtracted out of the analysis, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work. And none of these was what I was expecting, an analysis of the wave form without playing it back. I don't know if that would or would not require the D-to-A converter in my soundcard, but that oughtn't introduce artifacts itself, certainly not to the degree that playback does. -- David W.
