🤔

that's "needle dropping while a helicopter takes off a few meters away"

i mean, plenty of people hear hiss with stupid sensitive shit like andros off even less noisy sources

im pretty sure its just iem sensitivity being stupid

not that i can magically hear 100dB down snr

if it's coming from the source then they just lied about their snr or something along the line is introducing noise to the signal

doubt it

i can run my go1k off battery too so its not a power issue

isnt source sensitvity measured in decibel to full scale, which doesnt appy in the same way as actual volume?

also, is there any way to affordably meaure source gear? is it actually accurate if just using an ADC with appropriate specs, and RAA or something?

i sure wish dac manufacturers would name the parts they're built around

honestly any hobbyist-grade DSO

and a sine sweep signal from the source

dso138?

noooo

that doesn't have an actual AFE

ive been looking into cheap digital scopes but they all seem shit

tf is afe

get like a siglent or rigol or something

$300-$400

fuck that noise

im poor

that price range will do more than you'll ever need for audio

but anything below $300 is probably not gonna cut it for any precice or accurate measurements

so the cheap ADC route doesnt work?

how's $260

afaik achimago uses a uca202 for his measurements

siglent sds1052dl, can confirm it's more than up to the task

it has rolloff but otherwise its pretty accurate it seems

i guess you could, but you'll have an easier time of it if you use a scope

i dont really have the option if im a poor fuck

most of my money im investing into my business so i dont really have much play room

if you're willing to learn how to use em, aslk around electronics forums for old analog scopes

ive used a few cro's before

those'll still beat the hell out of a usb adc, and can be had free with some hunting and asking

nah theyre pretty rare here

i'd just give you mine but shipping is a tremendous expensive bitch

ive been looking for a good while

kek

ya

those cheap digital scopes like the dso138 are pretty much useless tho right?
