I agree there Amir, there's no battle of words. But there is so far an absence of curiosity about whether these measurements have any significance in the real world. So if anyone curious has questions by all means chip in and ask, don't be deterred by the high level of banter.

Imagination posing as evidence.

Evidence?

Nah - pearls, swine.:D

Do you see multitone measurements as such? If so, why?

Imagination again.

You find measurements uninteresting?

Ah so in your idiolect, a question is an answer. Got it.

Direct your question to believers and perhaps they'll answer you? See above.

Tomchr over on DIYAudio has recently posted up some measurements of a miniDSP unit. He's a relatively new convert to multitone testing (so far though only 32 tones in his stimulus) and the plot of the DAC output provided with this stimulus shows significant intermodulation 'grass' rising...

That is a very interesting question Frank - when I worked in the industry (for a speaker company) we did spend some time discussing this. The answer I give now is 'dynamics' - the played back version doesn't, in general, have the dynamics (impact, jump factor) of the live sound. Something is...

No. 10 is an interesting question. I think its not so much 'reviewers believing their ears' more that they've decided they can live with (or not) a piece of equipment in their system. So its more to do with feelings. Sometimes there's that initial 'sugar rush' from something that sounds a bit...

Implementation details would be crucial. TOSLINK is fairly severely bandwidth restricted so tends to introduce data-correlated jitter (the worst kind). Glass wire could have much wider bandwidth, but then it depends on the quality of the receiver and its PLL. I so far haven't found jitter to be...

You brought it here :D

The dropping of the word 'valid' is duly noted.

Meaningless then, just as predicted.

'Valid' meaning?

In your imagination.

Indeed so - with the meaning of 'valid' only defined if the result is a positive, so as to exclude said test from validity.
