Intermodulation Distortion...................................................... 0.004% @ 1kHz
A complex form of distortion occurring when two signals at different
frequencies are produced at the same time, creating additional signals at various
other frequencies and at various amplitudes.
Signal to Noise Ratio............................................................................... >105dB
The ratio of desired signal to noise signals present in the output. This figure is
referenced to the rated output of the CD player, taking into full account all
potentially annoying hum components.
Dynamic Range....................................................................................... >100dB
The difference between the loudest and quietest portions of a signal. Due to the
increased dynamic range offered by HDCD encoding, this specification must be
greater than the 96dB limit inherent in the standard 16-bit CD format.
Channel Separation ..................................................................>110dB @ 1kHz
Refers to the immunity of a signal from one channel leaking to the other
channel. The higher the value, the better the isolation of the two channels.
Channel Balance ...................................................................................... ±0.5dB
The maximum difference in the output level of one cha
nnel compared to the
output level of the other channel.
Phase Linearity .............................................................................................±0.5°
This shows the difference in phase of the input to the D/A converter compared
with the analog output.
