udial is a file that consists of 3 sine tone
2 at the lower frequency much like a tone of a tone dial tone. Everyone would not have problem hearing this
the other tone is a 19khz tone which is at least 4 times the amplitude.
most people would hear the tone at the lower frequency but the 19Khz would be heard at a very soft note prompting user to up the volume.
This kind of high frequency is very rare in real life, but is very harmful to your speaker or headphone.
If the amplifier is clipping it could generate lots of harmful harmonics at high power which might burn your tweeter and yet people might think it is soft
because it is at the limit of human hearing ability.
So if you want to try this tone use a cheap headphone or speaker.
Supercurio is refering to a reflection of the tone cause by a "musical" configuration of the NFB-12.
Maybe the diagram from him is a bit hard to understand
I did a waterfall using the NFB12 with it original configuration, which I feel is more conventional way of presentation.
The portion that in red, is the "extra" tone that is generated by the NFB12
I do not think any human is able to hear the difference between the 19K tone and the 23 K tone especially when it is play together.
If you did you must have lots of ear training listening to sine waves.
And since the 'extra' is outside the normal 20khz most standard test does not show it.
It is hard enough to hear a tone at 19Khz. But you should be pick it up with any decent system.
Since the 19K tone is in Udial, it is not surprising you heard something on most system.
If you are using 48Khz the reflection is further up at about 30K since Nyquist frequency is push to 24K.
(this is a guess as I have yet to test this out)
Attach is the waterfall diagram of udial with Pin22 connected to ground (0 volts) which is the setting as written on the datasheet of the 8741
Next up I might try different setting for the capacitor mod as recommended by KingWa. He said NFB12 comes with 470pf and NFB11 comes with 100pf.
Over the past few days/week I did learn a great deal about Amplifier, DAC design, apodizing filter. Not forgetting RMAA test and waterfall, The lesson alone is worth the price of the NFB12.
