Would forum members chip in $$ for a USB analyzer

...that's why I always prefer sticking to measure the DAC output

Crazy talk, but I agree. 

 

Should funding include cost of an audiophile power cord for the analyzer, else the results lack resolution and revealingness?

Full Speed sure is ceiling is pretty low at 32/96 being the max stereo sample rate. High Speed sure is limited to sixteen channels @ 32/192.

Could you define "low" and "limited" in terms of audio? Most "high end" audio rigs are 2ch.

 

Just think of what would happen if you guys did testing and the results were XYZ. Do you think that this would be argued over and over again and really what would that accomplish? Probably nothing...

Unless the point is arguing?

As I said low in terms of sample rate. Full Speed is limited to 32/96 stereo or 2ch. 

I see. So a 48kHz playback upper end is "low" for 2ch audiophiles, many 60-70+.

Fascinating. I may have to rethink my supertweeter designs 

Thanks Gordon

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to find someone who already owns the testing equipment to do the tests in exchange for buying them beer for the remainder of their life or something like that?

In that case, I own the required test equipment
