Maybe I'm at the ods with the audiophile world ,but that is because they are mostly wrong in most cases. Once again we have a subjectivist who: 1) treats his own perception as a verified scientific standard 2) makes no allowance that his perception could have been influenced by subjective aspects and 3) conveniently reclassifies those who disagree with him so he can eliminate them from the group. I've never had any problem noting a wide variety of differing opinions in the world of digital (or analog) audio. That strikes me as a statement that might be a touch overly broad. Interesting - you find time to lecture someone about the need to clarify that what they've written is only their opinion, yet a sentence or two later you are claiming that the "rest of the digital audio world" is in your camp. Does everyone really need to spend time explaining, in every single post they write, that our opinions are our opinions?ĭo you not have any intellectual curiosity about why your stand is so at odds to the rest of the digital audio world ? Then shouldn't you qualify your statement that it is your opinion? You didn't. Think you should qualify that by saying it's your opinion. Agree, as a single frequency signal these noise will not be audible.

So just by looking at graphs, I would pick the Arcam :-). Realize also that the measurements overall for the product above looks decidedly average (actually the 24-bit performance looks worse than average for decent hi-fi) that is, there could be problems with the audio performance, but jitter as per the graph is not an issue whatsoever. Is this audible? As Ethan W argued in the debate, this amount of distortion/noise below the primary signal is inaudible to humans (heck there's no music that needs anywhere close to this dynamic range!). Notice also how the graph starts at the top at -70dB, hence giving the impression that these sidebands are larger than they should be compared to the center frequency. This means that ALL those sideband distortion products (ascribed to jitter) were *94dB* or more below the signal itself. The highest of them all is at -100dB or lower whether USB or TosLink! As per the graph, the 11khz primary signal was at -6dB. Notice those peaks on Figure 6 and 7 for that review representing jitter sidebands. further DSP or digital receiver which re-digitizes the sound), that's the end of jitter being a problem. Unless you run the signal again into the digital domain (eg. This is the summation of all the jitter from the computer/CDP -> cable -> DAC. Notice that the jitter measurements are taken out of the analogue output from the DAC (in the Feb issue you probably were looking at the review of the AVM Evolution C9).

If you’re new to iZotope’s Insight 2, or just want to know more about it, pull up a chair and watch “iZotope Insight 2 Explained®” today.This is precisely why I still bother subscribing to Stereophile - John Atkinson's technical take on the hardware.

Sound Field, the new Intelligibility Module, Spectrum Analyzer, Spectrogram, and Loudness Overflow Automation are then all revealed and explained so you have full visual command over what’s going on in your sessions, and make the correct decisions regarding your levels and mixes. Moving along, Adam goes deeper and covers topics such as “True Peak”, RMS, Scales, and a good recommended target “peak” for your signals. You’ll also learn an important nuance about the “Target” line color, as well as scales, and recommended LUFS levels. Next you’ll explore Short Term vs Integrated vs Momentary LUFS, and how these are recorded visually in the ‘History’ section of Insight 2.
