Yes, I see it now. At the top of the chart.The 'specs' say USB in. Analogue out. Looks pretty straightforward to me.

You're comparing THD+N to THD.There's something odd,compare Amir's and Topping measurements below.
It's like being a different device.

I.Want. I can't hear much above 8k and absolutely zero about 10k. It would have to be a rifle shot or an explosion of some sort. Now, what is a good IEM in the under $200 bracket to pair with this? I love my HD6XX headphones, but they are awkward to transport. this might be my ultimate travel/work remote solution.I gotta say, I kind of have a little trouble getting past that as well. Despite the sacred, mostly theoretical 20K shibboleth, most music and recordings have little to no content that high, and most of us couldn't hear it even if it was there. But 7 kHz?I
Yep,and thank you for pointing out,sometimes this can be misguided too.You're comparing THD+N to THD.
The only "hitch" is the slower roll off in the DAC filter. I almost knocked the overall rating lower but once I listened to the G5, I could not go there. Performance is too good to give it any score other than top of the line. You get to disagree otherwise by voting in the poll.
LDAC transmitter like Fiio BTA30 Pro could be chained in between.Is it possible to devise a test method with the AP analyzer to test BT LDAC to analog outputs?
If the digital filter is -12 dB at 20 kHz, how does the multitone test show the 20kHz component still at 0 dB? Shouldn’t that show signs of the roll off? What happens if you generate a 64 tone signal with more signal in the high frequencies where we would expect to see the roll off?
Makes sense. Why don’t we run multitone at 44.1 and 192? Not just for this product but others going forward? It seems like it would be helpful.The multi-tone test is done at 192kHz sample rate, the filter won’t matter there.
No IEM remotely warrants an Amp as powerful as the G5.Now, what is a good IEM in the under $200 bracket to pair with this?
WolfX-700 did a bunch of measurments once via USB, once via LDAC:Is it possible to devise a test method with the AP analyzer to test BT LDAC to analog outputs?
The spec. are @ 96kHzA rolloff like that is not remotely high fidelity. -14dB at 20kHz is a bad joke. The pioneers of digital would be rolling in their graves.
But, kill that much HF and your THD will look fabulous....
@amirm How can you give a product with such a brutally bad (and clearly faulty) HF response such high marks? It makes no sense. And that is at 44.1kHz. This is what they claim:

What's going on? It's either faulty, your tests are botched, or they are lying with their claims.
If you're an adult man, it's almost guaranteed you can't hear above 18kHz. Even if you can, there's no musical content in that range - there's a reason why lossy codecs tend to junk everything above 13kHz.At 18Khz it's -0.6dB, and so it's pretty gradual. Doubt it would be noticeable.
Have you had your hearing tested recently?A rolloff like that is not remotely high fidelity. -14dB at 20kHz is a bad joke. The pioneers of digital would be rolling in their graves.
