Low distortion 1kHz sine generator for THD measurements.

Lampie519,​

what do these files have to do with the discussion of the analog oscillator?
Instead of downloading most of these files, it's easier to download and install the WeveGene1.50e program, which can generate a lot of signals through your sound card.
Moreover, instead of a sound card, it can output them to files (wav), and you will get the same files which can be burned to CD-R, if you want to check CD-player.
 
All true, but it does not state in the header that it must be analog or

does it ?
The main importance is that it need to be of low distortion and digital generated waveforms can be.

It depends of "how low". 0.000x% and 0.0000x% - very different things.
Many people uses "Victor's" oscillator, which is analog and fixed frequency.
To get it's THD from digital generated waveforms is not so easy.
And in general - not possible.
Just also for the fixed frequencies, using BandPass or LowPass filter after the digitally generated sinus.
