MEASUREMENTS

first looked at the behavior of the Piega Connect wireless control unit, using my Audio Precision SYS2722 analyzer. Measured at its analog output jacks in variable mode, this had a maximum gain of 0.3dB. The fixed mode offered the same 0.3dB gain. The analog input clipped at 2.2V. A 1kHz signal at–12dBFS at the coaxial and optical digital inputs resulted in a level at the analog outputs of 534mV, suggesting that the Connect’s gain architecture is very similar for both analog and digital signals. Both digital inputs locked on to data sampled at rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, but when I looked at the frequency response with a
