Klippel distortion tests (two-tone 70hz 800hz tests). On second try, got -60.

Klippel distortion tests (two-tone 70hz 800hz tests). Where do you fit, as compared to +8680 participants?

My recent thread showed that we have members with a range of hearing sensitivity. Many can easily hear a difference, but some could not. I am now curious about ASR members hearing sensitivity as compared to larger pool of participants (over 8680 participants for this particular test). I note...

Class D loopback vs original abx. Based on Deltawave analysis, it is highly unlikely for anyone to do better than guessing. I got 31/50. Probability of guessing is 5.94%.

Blind test - can you tell the class D amp from original loop in ABX

This is the test of the looback file vs. the file recorded through a class D amplifier. The files for download are here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z13zpe0k08opfma/Mutter.zip?dl=0 If you are interested, please download the zip file, unzip it and listen. Dropbox account is not needed, just click...

DAC ABX Test Phase 1: Does a SOTA DAC sound the same as a budget DAC if proper controls are put in place? Spoiler: Probably yes. :)

:)Confirmed. I also note the professional trimming and level matching, thanks @dominikz for the almost flawless preparation and execution of the test. That's the level of thoroughness we need here. Care to share the original snippet as well? Thanks for the kind words :) I have to say I find...

Did lots of additional online blind 2 ways timing tests. Clues for success seems different bases on combination of dac, amp, and headphones. Can get success down to 1ms.

Screenshots are in the first 3 pages of the thread. Examples:

The simple 2 ways timing online blind test is here: https://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_timing_2w.php?time=100 I tried a while back using smartphone and could do 10/10 for 10ms. Lower was tougher for me. The site does not show the statistics of all those who tried. So I am curious how ASR...

Timing test results - a poll

Okay I need a demo of this prowess....I'll bring whatever food/drink you like (well, within limits, I need to share :) ) Haha.... Maybe sometimes after covid is over.....We should get together to do all sorts of listening tests.

Timing test results - a poll

At lower delays, I was going by tonality and ambience created, not distinct clicks. No, it was more tonality than timing, like Amir said. Almost like the difference between Oh and Ah sounds. Interesting....I see. A few people mentioned that too. For me, I didn't really sense significant...
