"You are looking at a different plot than the one I looked at (the noise plot)."LOL! I looked at all of them.
Are you saying you disagree with something I said? The plots I was obviously referring to are the only relevant test worth talking to outside the context of his system, the one with an actual reference signal for comparison, which clearly show a evidence of a hardware problem/s in my opinion. Don't you agree it's a hardware problem?
"In the noise plot the hum was at -110 dB "
Really Tony? -110dB with respect to what exactly?????? Meaningless!

I made the assumption that Archimago used constant settings to record the output of his DAC with his ADC on all of his graphs. So they are dB down below the maximum signal that appears or could appear in any of his tests. I also assumed that he calibrated the gain of his DAC to ADC loop so that it is unity gain. So therefore, all dB would be relative the the maximum output in the 44/24 format, that is to say that -110 dB would be -110 dBfs. with 0 dBFs corresponding to +8388607 or -8388608 integer sample values.
I assume that anyone competent to record digital audio with a PCM recorder would understand how to set up their equipment to get consistent levels and would understand that in PCM recordings dB levels are referenced with respect to full scale, hence the term dBfs. I did not question Archimago's competence in regard to these matters and I assumed that anyone reading and commenting would be equally knowledgeable.

You keep avoiding my question. Are you disagreeing with my OP or not regarding assertions about hardware problems relation to software tweaks?
