Oh that makes more sense. I was picturing little dac saunas for a second there.
Yes, but I assume these are temp controlled clockgenerators only.
Indeed, not very severe though.All 'normal' ladders have it in some severity.Only with signed magnitude it isn't obvious as it isn't in the 0V line, instead it has 2 of them at the -6dBFS points.It is only possible to 'see' it when you zoom in on that point. Nobody is going to.It may be less audible in SM because in softer passages as there is no 0 crossing and the signals would be well below -6dB or even -12dB.impressive jitter figures...
Those crossover blibs are just at -104dB and at a frequency of around 17kHz (for this test tone).Judging from the waveform I figure it may not be possible to improve this using forward correction, perhaps using signed magnitude.
I'm surprised by the cross over distortion. I don't see it when measuring the outputs of my M7 (using Rigol DSO)... Will post a SS when I'm not posting from iPhone.I'm not experienced on the matter, and the FFT measurements show all other signals other than fundamental are near noise floor. But I wouldn't of expected it in a device where fidelity is meant to be the main goal...
The M7 is an R2R DAC though btw...
Bob, what other parameters/measurements (besides jitter) you feel are important to look at that correlate well with perceived performance?Also, any reason to use WDM over ASIO for the measurements? (I'm not familiar with Yggy driver support nor the Prism, and that's what the screen captures seem to display)Where the measurements done at -0.1 dBFS (4.something Vrms)?Any higher rate measurements?Thanks!
