Quote: “Sorry, I forgot to mention: temporarily bypass ALL DSP functions and repeat the test please.”
With due respect Kais, absolutely no apology is necessary from you at all.
However, I tend towards the view that such an apology, is due to you, from elsewhere.
As in your earlier helpful response you did indeed clearly advise the original poster to “temporarily bypass ALL DSP functions and repeat the test please.” As part of your expert advice.
For a reason best known to the original poster himself, he copied and pasted your post, but edited it, excluding completely, two of the bullet points in your response, which were as follows. Quote:
“Temporarily bypass ALL of ADI-2’s DSP functions.”
“Switch on ADI-2 DAC’s “Auto Reference Level”.
Compare post 3 and 4.
Possibly the original poster wanted to follow his own desires and intuitions as to how he would configure his device, thus precluded points he did not wish to implement, which is of course, his privilege.
However, editing and reposting another's writing as if nothing has been altered can indeed, cloak, colour, confuse, misrepresent and falsify, advice they have previously been given. Leading to unwarranted and unnecessary apology and explanation along with undesirable aberration and complexity.
With respect, if a quote is edited for any reason or indeed shortened for conciseness, it is surely only ethical to indicate that a foreshortening has indeed been enacted. This places everyone in an ideal position to receive the best possible advice, presented in the clearest possible manner, able to followed with consummate ease, rather than unnecessary complication.
Genuine Best Wishes to All!
