This debate over DC is irrelevant for at least three different reasons: 1). The primary signal I tested DOES NOT HAVE a DC offset. I removed it precisely so as not to worry about this.
2). The amp would probably filter it out anyway (something as simple as a cap would do that). 3). Even if it were present and the amp left it, there's no reason it would be bad for speakers any more than a 20 Hz plus 1000 Hz tone is "bad for your speakers". DC deposits exactly zero power on the speaker cones. All it does is make them oscillate from a slightly displaced equilibrium position. So long as the total DC level plus the highest AC level is less than the max voltage the speakers can tolerate, there shouldn't be any problem. In this case if you think about how I generated the signal it's obviously not a problem, as the total level is far below the max. There's a much more interesting issue here, which is that the absolute phase was audible for some reason... -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23759 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
