Sine waves are used because you can make a meaningful measurement. At a single frequency you see the amplitude and phase response at that frequency, as well as any "added" frequency content which is due to distortion. You can also do two-tone tests to look for intermodulation distortion. With a broadband "real" signal, it's just too difficult to isolate what the source of distortion is so it's not really useful. I imagine there could be metrics for a broadband signal test to verify the accuracy of the result, but the typical tests are more useful to understand where the deficiencies lie. -- tcutting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87175 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
