19. Comparison At 44.1kHz
| Frequency response (40 Hz - 15 kHz) | +0.09, -0.90 dB |
| Weighted signal-to-noise ratio | 74 dB(A) |
| THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) | 0.031 % |
| Stereo crosstalk | 76.7 dB |
Frequency response : the linearity in the frequency response is good but a spoilt by attenuation in the very low range.
Noise level : noise is good and regular, but higher than in most similar products.
Dynamic range : a good result in line with the noise result.
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) : distortion is higher than many of its rivals' but still objectively low.
IMD (Intermodulation distortion) : a satisfactory result, in line with the harmonic distortion result.
Stereo crosstalk : it does not break any records, but stereo crosstalkis perfectly satisfactory.
