You seemed to have that "want" when you said this: "I'm just falsifying your claim here." If you want to falsify something you need data and specifics, not just a claim.I have no such want. If you'd like to make progress in understanding SQ differences, you might wish to perform the experiment. If not, then don't.
You went way past a proposal. You are claiming industry standard tests are useless to quantify performance of transports. That is a tall claim and needs more than, "here is a test for you to run." I don't jump and run tests people propose if they can't meet the bar of making a good case for them and showing enough initiative on their own to gather data, and present them in a constructive manner.But our two situations are not symmetrical. You're putting forward measurements which you claim say something relevant about your kit. I explained why they do not. I put forward an experiment you could perform should you so desire. A proposal for an experiment is not a claim.
You need a lot more for me to go and fire up my test bench to do anything. Any audio tests blows a weekend for me. A weekend that I could use to enjoy music, movies or finish getting this boat ready to go on the water. What's wrong with you doing the test?This is nonsense. I agree I was vague about the number of tones so let me add detail. Try with a stimulus of 100 or more tones. Do you need any more detail to perform the experiment? If you still consider the experiment a 'vague metric' then explain what's missing.
Because that is the topic of discussion that you engaged in. People said traditional stand-alone transports are superior to PC based ones. So I presented similar measurements performed on both classes of products. You propose a measurement for which you have no data. So even if I measured a PC that way, we wouldn't have the same data on the high-end stand-alone product. I am not buying a $50K transport just to make a point.Firstly why do you need to do a comparison?
I look forward to you sharing such data or reasons why you can't.You could begin by comparing the noise floor with a digital zero stimulus with that under a multitone stimulus. The digital zero would give you a baseline for determining the degree of noise modulation.
It is your opinion that it is not of "practical use." To go against an entire industry you need to mount a very strong argument, backed by data and how we correlated that with listening test results. You haven't done anything other than saying I should go run some tests. The responsibility is yours to prove the usefulness of what you propose. It is not my job o help you with your argument by spending my time and resources testing it.Secondly, just because something is 'industry standard' doesn't mean its any practical use. In this case I've explained why not, if you disagree then what have I said so far which isn't correct? Show me my faux pas please.
Now if you were polite and not confrontational, showed insight as to why this is a useful test, then I would have put it on my TODO list. Instead, you are doing the opposite so any interest I had in doing this test at the start are long gone.
You have poor self-awareness to not see how badly it comes across when you say, " I'm just falsifying your claim here. " Falsifying claims? You took a casual interchange that was not heated and turned it into one. I bet if you provide a link to the forum that banned you, I can find similar lack of awareness to how your response comes across.Thirdly you're claiming something about 'personal tone' - chapter and verse please as this looks to be your own personal perceptual distortion to me. If you have evidence for the 'personal tone' then I'd like to see what it is.
I measure constructiveness two ways:Finally, I'm being constructive here so don't understand why you request me to be constructive. What in what I have so far written isn't constructive - chapter and verse again please.
1. How much technical knowledge, and data is presented. You have done very little here.
2. How much negative emotion is thrown in there. And negative you have been.
In your next post, before you hit send, examine it on the basis of the above two criteria.
