Signal to Noise 91dB (A-weighted)

You know these things have an analog stage, too, right?

And you realise that the signal *originated* in the analogue domain ? Digital *can't* make
the original better - lmao !

Analogue has no trouble going way, way beyond 91dB s/n ( A weighted ). In such a trivial
application the analogue noise should be around - 110dB ( unweighted ) - that's around
-120dB typically A weighted.

To suggest that any analogue circuit is responsible for the poor noise figure is plain
idiotic and shows a basic failure to understand the technology.


THD+N -78dB (A-weighted) (-78dB = .0125%)

I hope you understand why this clearly isn't linear 16 bit. I've never even seen
a manufacturer have the brass neck to A-weight a THD spec before ! Talk

about being desperate.

I see you can't refute the THD issue. Analogue can easily do 0.001% THD ( and better ) - i.e
over ten times better than the Turtle Beach spec *unweighted* ! Possibly 100 times better
unweighted but I've never previously seen a manufacturer so desperate as to quote THD with a
weighting. It just isn't done ! It's a wholly inappropriate thing to use weighting for.
