Test and Measurement Procedures and Standards

[Blumlein 88]

We would both need to measure the same thing as BE718 and I plan to do.

Without it, it is very hard to correlate the results.

@amirm I meant bring this up before. For those who might like to corroborate measurements between us could you maybe ship a couple of the better performing low cost (low weight and small size) DACs around for each of us to measure and compare. We could have a special thread, and it might take a couple or three attempts before each of us works out getting the correct results. Those of us wanting this could cover shipping. Maybe get a list of a few who are interested and ship it around in a loop and back to you in the end. In time maybe some others can lower the burden of measurement you are under.

I'd view it merely as a data format which could be successfully processed by the gear,

Yes, that's what I figured as well.

What I can't understand is why anyone would propose such an interface standard...

Sure. I have the Meridian DAC which BE718 sent me. I could measure that and then send it over if he is OK with it.

Because 32 is more than 24 and 64 is more than 32. More is better. Marketing.
