5. Behavior At 44.1kHz
| Frequency response (40 Hz - 15kHz) | 0.17, -0.77dB |
| Weighted signal-to-noise ratio | 85dB(A) |
| THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) | 0.006% |
| Stereo crosstalk | 80dB |
Frequency response : at the top of the spectrum, there is a bit of hum and the response breaks down beyond 15kHz. The result is still good, though.
Noise level : noise is low and, above all, there are no jolts in the medium and high range.
Dynamic range : no problem with this test, which confirms the good behavior of the MP3+.
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) : distortion as such is very low. An excellent result for a card of this range.
IMD (IMD (Intermodulation distortion) distortion) : no problem with IMD either. The MP3+ behaves very well.
Stereo crosstalk : a result which can only satisfy users.
