I'm speculating, but I'd say most of the frequent visitors to this forum look at measurements more for signs of excellence in engineering than from the perspective of audibility.
That said, a while back forum member @flipflop compiled a bunch of audibility research into a post titled...
Here's my Monster Power AVS 2000 and PowerCenter HTS 5000 "with clean power stage four filtering".
Recently I pulled out my Rigol 1054Z and a differential voltage probe to measure the AC mains both at the wall and after passing through the Monster stuff. The wave forms going in and coming...
I used @MZKM's data to create a stacked bar chart with the speakers sorted by measured sensitivity. When the measured sensitivity was the same as or higher than the claimed value I didn't bother to display it.
Have a look at this thread for a good discussion of the differences between ASIO and WASAPI:

Have you considered using a traditional preamp rather than the Mackie Big Knob? The Schiit Freya S tested very well and it's on Amir's recommended list. The Freya may cost more than the Big Knob, but it will give you a lot more flexibility. You get the choice of passive or active and you get the...
Math does allow us to quantify the information content of a signal. Claude Shannon showed us how by giving us a formula for entropy.
I thought I would try using Shannon's formula to calculate the entropy of a dithered file and compare it to a non-dithered version of the same signal. I made two...
Funny. Amir actually reviewed a similar wood "ground box" here. Maybe not surprisingly--it actually increased noise because the ground wire connected to it acted like an antenna.
Does that mean the AP feeds the Yamaha's analog line in with a voltage in of 0.1587 V?
I'm assuming that V out is given by
And that you can solve for V in like so
Do I have that right?
64-bit sample depth? What are you recording over there, gravitational waves? ;)
If I did the math right 64 bits should get you to -385 dB or 5.42e-18 %. Sprinkle in some dither and and you're almost there.
Sure. I'm not an expert, but I can share what worked for me on the x64 version of 18.04.4 LTS.
First if you don't already have wine installed then install wine-stable 4.0.3 from Ubuntu's app store.
If Wine is installed and you have downloaded and extracted the DeltaWave installer, then you...
I know there are quite a few Linux users on ASR so I thought I'd share that I was able to run @pkane's DeltaWave on Ubuntu using Wine. I didn't do much compatibility testing, but I was able to compare a couple of wav files without issue.
DeltaWave 1.0.50
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Wine 4.0.3 (64-bit...
