Audibility thresholds of amp and DAC measurements In my experience, the audibility of tones is lost at about 30 dB below the noise level The peak spectrum of non noised music fragment: View attachment 486267 The attached example has a fairly high noise level, so be careful Well, some apples, some oranges, but what's missing in all of this is the actual noise and signal spectra
Audibility thresholds of amp and DAC measurements Since minimalistic passages (e g a single instrument + lots of silence) exist in music, and because a huge variety of synthetic instrumentation exists today with far less harmonic content than natural music (thus far less masking power?), this kind of experiment - if it was seeking the absolute limit of audibility - should be done with the
Audibility thresholds of S N - signal to noise - test This says how S N audibility is related to programme volume Regarding 200Hz, I have chosen it because the ear is less sensitive than to 1kHz - 3kHz range of frequencies and thus the noise is more audible Of course the speaker is to be able to reproduce 200Hz, cell phones are prohibited in this test, it would be cheating
Audibility of SINAD differences? - Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum SINAD Audio Audibility Analysis SINAD in Audio Electronics: Technical Significance and Audibility in a Living Room Context 1 Introduction Overview: The specification SINAD, an acronym for Signal-to-Noise and Distortion ratio, frequently appears in the technical documentation and reviews of audio electronic components such as D
Audibility thresholds of amp and DAC measurements For these reasons, the audibility thresholds will deal with frequencies from 0 to 20 kHz Dynamic range, linearity CDs, with undithered audio, have a maximum dynamic range of 96 dB (16 bits) Studies, such as the one conducted by Meyer and Moran, have shown 96 dB of dynamic range is transparent for any normal listening conditions

Audibility of Group Delay for Sound System Design Part 1 of ? on Group . . . For this article I’m going to attempt a simplified discussion of Group Delay and audibility response magnitude, phase and group delay at a very detailed mathematical level, you might go into some convulsions with some of what I write To be completely fair, these mathe tical rel tionships make sense to engineers and physicis ( ) ( )
Audibility of SINAD differences? - Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum As SINAD tests only one aspect of distortion the audibility can be quite different for different SINAD performance levels It would be nice to have a new metric that with using psycho-acoustics makes a better estimator of audibility of the distortion Something like x dB's below the audibility threshold when played a SPL level y Lets call it
