there is a difference on just a sinusoid... so imagine on very very complex musical signals...

Or looked at another way, you’re far more likely to hear distortion listening for it on a single, simple sine wave, than when masked by complex music.

And that’s why you’ll never see a Where’s Wally puzzle with one lone Wally on an otherwise blank, white page.

You’ll rarely see a multitone test where distortion is significantly worse than single tone.

just that the distortion will be much stronger in multitones ...and understandable by expert ears...

Complex musical signals composed of lots of sinusoids.

yes...

Let’s see Topping EX5, with a single 1kHz sine wave.

 

[Steve Woodhouse]

Same with multitone.

 

[Steve Woodhouse]

Both show maximum distortion at just above -130dB.

Feeding complex music instead of a single tone hasn’t made much difference, if any at all.

 

[canard]

its very very not complex.. simple... invites you to listen elsewhere....
end for me

And there are different kinds of multitones, NID ones will produce distortions differently.

i know... and you know he interests me more ;-)

I know that you know

 

[canard]

hihi

And there are different kinds of multitones, NID ones will produce distortions differently.

But rarely do you see a significant difference.

 

[canard]

But """"""rarely"""" do you see a significant difference.

rarely..... not never..big new ;-)))

Just an example, above is not from the Ultra.

What’s that from?

So…how does the Ultra SOUND compared to other DACs?
