I've seen plenty of 16/44 RMAA measurements and all of them extend to 20khz without such a roll-off unless there is something flawed with the output or input device (e.g. on an older computer with a onboard sound chip). If there is a filter it's beyond that point.  What is going on with this measurement?

I don't know why there is such a roll off, I set the input device at 24/96 which should be able to capture correctly a 20 kHz signal, if someone has an idea of what I did wrong (assuming it is manipulation error and not simply a characteristic of the tested DACs), I'd be happy to do the measures again.

I'll be testing my uDAC 2 shortly with both RMAA and my Prism Sound dScope professional analysis system. Hopefully I can solve the mystery of the 16 Khz roll off. The full review will be on my blog.

Could it be possible this is because the output is 16/44 and the input is 24/96?  I realize in theory this should not be a problem, but maybe there is some software related issue?

Looking forward to your results.
