It can. Your speakers and amplifiers will happily amplifier all that noise you have stuffed in the high frequencies 22 kHz. Tweeters can resonate in that frequency and distortion (intermodulate) into more audible band. And your amplifier can also oscillate. After all, real music doesn't have...

Harmonic distortions of the 1 kHz land in that region so it is fine from that point of view. From perceptual masking, you also want some distance between your masker (tone) and its distortions. Finally, in a band limited channel, you want to leave plenty of room for harmonics to show up. The...

There are multiple codecs in Bluetooth. The most common are SBC and Apt-x.

No, it was dead before we got there. :) DVD-A and SACD were launched and overnight put an end in the interest in > 16 bit audio in CD format that HDCD was doing. So Keith and others went off to create a speaker correction technology for PC to transform the company. We took interest in that...

Your accusation is patently false and uncalled for. I have no idea who NWAVGUY is. I expect such accusations from members, but not owner of this forum. I have provided my full history to anyone who wants to read. I have always and on every forum used my real name. I don't post under...

Jude has gone silent on me so I don't expect anything to come out of that. And yes, I am OK with picking up the return expense, whatever it may be. I use the post office these days as they have the cheapest rates.

Both Yggdrasils that I tested were on for many hours and quite warmed up. FYI, same concern was raised about Schiit Bifrost Multibit that I tested. Its performance did not change at all with respect to linearity after being left on overnight. But sure, please send me a private message if you...

No. I know of him though.

I don't know if that is or is not going to happen. There is a lot of hostility going on to defend one's measurement and the way it is done if you have not noticed. :) So while you may not be able to affect us, you can affect yourself. Learn what the measurements really mean. Study the...

Just the talk gives you headache? I had to respond to all the bloody ones. :D I too had to just go in my office and listen to some good music last night to drown it out....

There was plenty of explanations regarding audibility of the measurements. This one for example on jitter: And on THD: And IMD intermodulation: Honestly, I don't know how you can say you read something as short as that article but didn't see these clear references. Ultimately seems...

I don't know what AP has done for Jude. I can tell you that I have owned AP equipment going back to 1990 or so (nearly inception of Audio Precision). I understand its architecture, signal processing, analog audio, etc. While AP folks have been kind to lend a helping hand if I need it, I have...

What??? There are multiple hobbies here, some of which we share, others that we do not: 1. Enjoying music. We all share this one. As I type this and perform my reviews, I am listening to music usually with my headphones and sometimes my main system. 2. Chasing hardware. Again, we all do...

I have designed plenty of flip-flops. I am most famous for this one: I must admit some failures such as this one: I love sushi so thought others like me would love it. But get this: people complained it stank too much!!! No accounting for taste. For you portable DAC users, I designed...

Explained here: https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/understanding-audio-measurements.2351/ I will be writing a much more extensive article for a magazine over summer on this topic. Let me know if your banned status on ASR Forum stops you from reading it (just go there as...
