No, I don't think it's necessary to buy this brand (though I probably was influenced by its good reputation :) ).

Looks like harmonics level in 5k-10k range could be a good indicator. Or how long the 3rd and higher harmonics are sustained. Violin at the top, guitar at the bottom (audio files in attachment):

Or at least not so directly. What the generator shows is the RMS of the signal. I think this formula applies here for the RMS of sum of signals: RMS_tot = sqrt( RMS_1^2 + ... + RMS_n^2 ) RMS of a sine is A/sqrt(2) and we have 31 sines, so: RMS_tot = sqrt( 31 * (A/sqrt(2))^2 ) = sqrt( 31/2 *...

I don't think that says anything about the level of individual tones. Save that signal to a file, load the file to REW's RTA and you should get:

When I generate such multitone in REW then it's 31 tones and each tone is at around -24 dBFS.

There already is a topic about that (I think): https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/why-is-every-amp-on-this-polish-website-at-low-signal-output-20-db-worse-than-amirm%C2%B4s-measurements.57805/

It's Alsa telling the device what format to use. The available formats that the device is capable to deliver are listed in "/proc/asound/card0/stream0" (or card1 or card2 etc). And I think "stream0" is the standard file name for USB devices. For example: ]$ cat /proc/asound/card2/stream0...

Over 100 pages long thread and the answer was so simple :) https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/things-that-cannot-be-measured.20808/

I find it somewhat funny that some people worry, that the inaudible ringing added by linear-phase filters will somehow change their perception of the music but at the same time they seem to be OK with minimum-phase filters removing the ringing that is part of the genuine signal. (Admittedly...
