Playstation sound & science

Bernhard · 10th July 2005, 10:31 PM

Finally I found a working PS one for 10 €.

Sounds very nice, a little soft maybe, but got silky and smooth highs without being unpleasantly warm, good soundstage, rich sound like tube.

So what ?

Asked my analyzer and he told me:

Lots of harmonics, K3 = -39,5 dB as bad as TDA1543 and TDA1540.

Bad noise floor around -50 or -55 dB, don't remember.

But harmonics are evenly distributed and both channels are equal.

Lots of DACs including PCM63 & TDA1541 have different harmonics on left and right channel.
Also depending on your luck, chips can have harmonics that are very dominant.b

I thought it was the original playstation, the big one, not the ps one that was supposed to sound so much better than "it was supposed to"..

I'v been thinking of getting one or more for some projects.
