Thanks for the tip. Where can i find information about these discs ? I'd really like to know what John Atkinson uses when he does testing / technical review of a player or transport / dac combo. Sean

Test tones on redbook cd ???
The DCAT-3 can be found at the company website where apparently these can be ordered; alternatively, a search will turn up other sources. |
Agonanon: That was very kind and thoughtful of you to provide such useful links. I am flattered that you would go to such trouble to help me out. THANK YOU !!! As to the discs that you recommended, they are probably the best suited to what i need out of those that i've found so far. I would really like to find something that had a greater variety of square waves though as reproducing a square wave with high linearity is a great test of any component / system. As a side note, if anyone is thinking of feeding high level square waves through their system, DON'T do it. It is quite likely that you will smoke something in the system, primarily your amp or tweeters. Great care should be exercised when using ANY test tone. Sean > |
Here's a discussion about using a piece of software named Digital Signal Generator; it seems it can be used to generate a file which can be burned directly to CD using, say Nero. I have not used the software (besides Nero) or test CD's personally. |
