Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

What I think he's saying is...

I think that what Bwalso is saying that regardless of the measuring ABILITY of the soundcard, it is still a valid CONTROL, since we're using the same soundcard for both tests.

If you have mediocre speakers but can hear an improvement when you change sources - agreed - it must be QUITE a significant improvement. The trick was that you used the same speakers to audition BOTH sources.

It's a no brainer that one would want to have the lowest noise floor possible to see even the most minute differences.

There is also a difference bewteen the dynamic range and SNR ratings of a codec ON a soundcard and what the actual SNR will be when a loop-back noise-floor test is done.

I also imagine one can't do bit-for-bit comparisons unless the stimulus is synced with the recording equipment for each iteration. Is this correct?

Cheers,
Presto
