Any pointers to these AES papers? A quick search found some ASR and DIY forum mentions of similar test signals, but no papers that I could find...
Various, but basically you don't need them. This is the main information from a paper called '0dBFS+ Levels in Digital Mastering, SØREN H. NIELSEN AND THOMAS LUND, TC Electronics', presented at the 109th Convention 2000 September 22-25, doc number might be 5251, where they tested very old CD players with these signals.
3.1 Phase and Level
The synchronously sampled sine waves were generated with two start phases: One with the theoretical
maximum value present as a sample value in the digital domain and one with the highest possible analog
peak level within the limitation of +/-1 in the digital domain.
5512.5 Hz: 90 and 67.5°. At 67.5° the analog peak level is up to +0.69 dBFS.
7350 Hz: 90 and 60°. At 60° the analog peak level is up to +1.25 dBFS.
11025 Hz: 90 and 45°. At 45° the analog peak level is up to +3.0 dBFS.
This kind of stuff has been shown several times by other ASR members in self-built signals. And it can be changed to 48 kHz easily with the same results (11.025 becomes 12.000 etc).
