Audio performance – RMAA
Audio performance – RMAA
RMAA suite is designed for testing the quality of analog and digital paths of any audio devices, be it a sound card, an MP3 player, a consumer CD/DVD player, or an acoustic set. The results are obtained by playing and recording test signals passed through the tested audio path by means of frequency analysis algorithms. A more common mark is also provided for those unfamiliar with measured technical parameters. A new version is the result of two years of development by the best experts in digital audio. RMAA 6.0 raises the bar of comfort and functionality for spectrum analyzers. That's why it is a program of choice for enthusiasts, professionals, and audio magazines around the world; and some manufacturers are developing new devices with the mandatory testing of their quality in RMAA. In short, the program at the moment is a de-facto standard providing a quick and easy measurement of technical parameters, without the need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on specialized measurement systems. RMAA results are provided below:
The board did very decent here, with its ALC 1150 audio codec.
Meet the Biostar Z690 Valkyrie motherboard. This product is from a series that already appeared using the Z590 chipset in the past. What does this name mean? It’s the name of Odin’s twelve handmaids who conducted the slain warriors of their choice from the battlefield to Valhalla. The series was introduced with Z590 Valkyrie.
Biostar Racing B550 GTQ review
Meet the Biostar B550 GTQ motherboard. It’s a rather entry-level mATX product from the Racing series, which also includes an ATX form factor version. The design is rather attractive, with a consistent black-and-grey theme. This is a 24.4 x 24.4 cm, mATX-factor product equipped with a B550 chipset, and it offers such features as 6+4-phase power design (Dr MOS) and 1x Gigabit ethernet (the ATX version has 2.5 Gbps). Priced at about 130 USD, it’s definitely a cheap one, in the range of B450 motherboards.
Biostar GeForce 7600 GS V-Ranger Edition
And then Biostar release a GS with something new. That being an overclocked edition which allows Voltage regulation in the graphics core. Okay, that's guruísh geek stuff. So I decided to squeeze in one more 7600 GS review for this one occasion only.
