Marco - here is my dyf fileset: http://rapidshare.com/files/319458897/old_love_sb3_sbs_7.5_r29568.dyf.html
I just used the first 15 seconds. I can't hear any music in my diff file (unlike yours). I have the soundcard locked to the spdif stream clock of the sb3 (but I am recording the analogue outs) so I have zero sample rate drift - and perfect cancellation. What's left is white noise from the SB3 dac output stage + white noise (very very low) from the DAC input stage of the card. These are 16-bit recordings so the lowest level is -96dB and I get null correlation down to -88dB so that's in the bottom 1.5 bits! That's very close to theoretically perfect. You have sample rate drift between your Alesis and the SB because your soundcard clock is free-running - hence your ADM results are not as good. Also, your card has slightly higher self noise than mine. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
