Crossover Group Delay Audibility Testing - please take part!

guess the first ones are the original rectangular pulse.
Good guess, but it really is the original "Play Reference Audio" rectangular pulse with +20dB gain. The gain does not change the original in any way. Neither in mathematical analysis nor audibly.

The second one is the "Play Option 4 Audio" with +20dB gain. It is obvious that the gain does change the waveform, mathematically and audibly.

Now listen to both originals ("Play Reference Audio" and "Play Option 4 Audio") without any Distortion ;-)

Best regards

Hello Bernd

Well it is quite obvious that clean clipping doesn't change the shape of recangular pulses or rectangular waves. But clipping of the dispersive waveform does lead to strange looking signals. And it will contain spectral components that the original didn't.
