i did a bunch of these today, feeding from my rme adi2 pro fs and topping D70 at high (+24 dBU), mid (-2 dBU) and low levels (-14 dBU), to get a sense of preamp quality on those that have gain stages. a few were loopbacks or DAC balanced to a USB-capable recorder, many were recorded as wavs to SD cardsYou need levels to remain the same for all devices to be able to compare.
devices i tested today
RME AD!-2 pro FS
RME ADI-2
Benchmark ADC1
Benchmark AD2402-92
Mixpre6 (1st gen)
Zoom F6
Tascam DR100 mkiii
Marantz PMD661 (stock)
Marantz PMD 661 (Oade 'warm' mod)
some were boosted in post as they werent capable of hitting 0dbfs at low input levels
heres some screenshots, a few have dupes
all the .sav files are in the attached zip, named relatively descriptively (ask if it doesnt make sense)
have at it...
