Then we transfer a set size of files from the SSD to the USB drive using DiskBench, which monitors the time taken to transfer. Using the Realtek ALC898 we see a dynamic range of over 100 dBA, although GIGABYTE squeezed more out of the codec than EVGA in terms of harmonic distortion levels.įor this benchmark, we run CrystalDiskMark to determine the ideal sequential read and write speeds for the USB port using our 240 GB OCZ Vertex3 SSD with a SATA 6 Gbps to USB 3.0 converter. We look specifically at the Dynamic Range of the audio codec used on board, as well as the Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise. The OS is tuned to 192 kHz/24-bit input and output, and the Line-In volume is adjusted until we have the best RMAA value in the mini-pretest. For this test we connect the Line Out to the Line In using a short six inch 3.5mm to 3.5mm high-quality jack, turn the OS speaker volume to 100%, and run the Rightmark default test suite at 192 kHz, 24-bit. Rightmark:AA should indicate how well the sound system is built and isolated from electrical interference (either internally or externally). The premise behind Rightmark:AA is to test the input and output of the audio system to determine noise levels, range, harmonic distortion, stereo crosstalk and so forth. Please refer to for updated details.In part due to reader requests, we are pleased to include Rightmark Audio Analyzer results in our benchmark suite. Functions will be available when using PCIe 3.0-compliant devices. This motherboard is ready to support PCIe 3.0 SPEC.
