When creating test tones using software like NCH Tone Generator what variable amplitude should they be set to. I noticed that the sine wave test tones on the Bink's audio test tones are described such as...

11 16 -1dB 30s
12 20 -1dB 30s
13 25 -1dB 30s
14 31.5 -1dB 30s

What is the purpose of setting a variable amplitude for each tone recorded?

Hi all,

I'm new to the postings and had a question - has anyone out there bought/reviewed the new Simaudio I-5.3, Simaudio I-7, or the Marantz PM-11S1? I'm looking for a solid state integrated amp in that price range, and have heard rumors that these models are excellent. However, I haven't been able to find much out there in terms of articles or owner feedback.

If you have familiarity with these products, I'd appreciate any opinions & experiences.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Hello all,
I've been wondering how feasible it would be to use my cheap Pioneer DVD player as a transport. Of course, it has the digital out but does that digital out include the hi-rez formats also? And are there affordable DACs that handle SACD and DVD-Audio as well as "redbook" CDs?
These may be stupid questions but I'm new to hi-rez digital formats.
BTW, The player sounds pretty good with the hi-rez stuff but I find that it makes a bad CD player. Sounds thin on 16/44 PCM. Even if I hook a DAC up to it for 16/44 PCM I would be happy.

What is the best media software for burning audiophile quality CD's or DVD's

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice. I've looked into this hosting company, they even got ranked #5 on this review site (http://www.hosting-buyers-guide.com/re/2005ipowerweb/).

I'm building a site that's gonna have alot of pictures and video, so I'll need alot of space and speed, so has anyone used this host before?

Thanks.
