I think this looks nice and the others look like some esoteric BS to pretend they do some voodo magic.

@amirm waht is the reason for the volume "gain" setting of 66/70? to get ~24dB gain? to get max power at 4Vrms?

How and why Was the combination of Volume setting and input voltage chosen? It would be interesting to see how Higher input voltage and lower volume setting or vice versa influences the performance. Listening at "only 5W" with the volume turned almost to the max. dose not sound like a...

Why even look at 1000€ stuff if 25€ stuff used right is more then good enough? Why not look deeper at extensive stuff if a view meaningless number are meaningless high... My point was how good something works when it works good is relevant (we can get more then good enough for 9€) How good...

I must say i enjoy this deep dives in quirks and edge cases of a device way more then just comparing SINAD numbers that are (if they are good) basically meaningless. Its no longer impressive or interesting to me to see a dac with 110dB sinad in "ideal" conditions. for me its way more...

i’m not saying it has been solved. it can be solved. and now it’s easier, and cheaper then ever. It still needs some amount of effort and knowledge. but this amount has never been lower then today. You can do with consumer grade technology and and software what recording engineers 50 or even 30...

And somehow we do this since may decades. You don’t need any fancy proprietary "clip guard" or dual DAC like zoom. if you just keep the signal below clipping. Do a sound check, raise your voice shout/scream. Dose it clip? lower input gain. then set up software: EQ, compression, limiter...

So if you only have one microphone just set the gain right and Compress in software. Almost any interface will do. (waht mic do you have? ) if you to lazy to set the gain right the zoom thing is maybe waht you want. It just recorded 2 channels with different gains and automatically combines...

The X32rack is absolutely overkill for the job! it dose not need "the best components" to be absolutely fine for this simple job. A Decent audio interface with enough channels and good preamps is all you need. I would suggest Motu M4 (if you only have 2 microphones) Set the gain so it never...

Its not Thats not my conclusion this is quoting from Amir I asked for "the Absolute level of 0dBrA" and he said "is the RMS voltage corresponding to 5 watts @ 4 ohm." And no matter what the waveform is the RMS voltage corresponding to 5 watts @ 4 ohm is th 4.47V or so about. But that's of...

We are ignoring the noise and distortion also contributing to the 5W but ok i don't want to be pedantic. So lets say its So 0 dBrA is 0.79 V RMS Tahts far From Waht Amir is saying: The voltage corresponding to 5 watts @ 4 ohm would be ~4.47V But 32 Tones at 4.47V would add up to ~25V...

You just said: So you uses the RMS " voltage" level to calculate Watts. If you want to be be Pedantic what You label Watt are not Watts at all it might be VA. but you don't measure current? So 0dBrA is surely not 5W or 5VA or the RMS voltage correlating to theoretical 5W. If this is So clear...

"The actual signal-to-noise ratio, of course, heavily depends on the signal. In fact, it depends so much on the signal that using it as a general value would be almost useless. For example, if your signal is at -20 dBFS, the signal-to-noise ratio would be roughly 20 dB lower, give or take. But...

So Your reference test level is 5W (with unknown crest level?) I think it would make more sense to show the distortion level relative to the 5W reference level? If 5W is reference for this test why not make 5W 0dB? Also, it might be a small difference, but setting the RMS output to 5W Since...

I don’t get it... What is the combined level? +20dB? because the combined level can't be the same as a singe tone level?
