Some people will never get (or hear) the picture. 'Cheap' is all that
matters these days.

Excerpted from a report of testing the Berryfinger ADA8000, where you
probably get your full two hundred dollars worth of "24/96".

** Quotation Begins **

snipitty doo dah's happen - find this on PSW, too, if you've the
patience or urge

Test results:
- -------------

Screen shots were taken and put in the following ZIP file:

http://www.audiorail.com/ADA8000_test.zip (size = 688 KB)

When outputs were muted and 10 second recording was made with input
trims at maximum, noise was white with peaks of -36 dBFS and RMS power
of -47 dB referenced to RMS full scale sine wave.


Conclusions:
- ------------

Waveforms show that phase of the output signal is inverted going through
the unit, with respect to the digital signal provided into the unit.
(The phase of the input signal is not inverted in the other direction.)

Steady state FFT scans show roughly 70 dB S/N ratio at the +4 dB
setting, reducing to roughly 40 dB S/N ratio at maximum trim
sensitivity.

Transient response shots show some low frequency DC bias issues and some
phase alignment issues that vary by frequency, as well as a bit of
ringing

** Quotation Ends **

Might as well make "tunafish sandwich filling" out of tuna the kitty
already passed.
