Measured specifications are thus increasingly important in evaluating digital audio product.
However, without the standardized set of specifications, it would be hard to compare one CD player with another. Thus the standardized specifications are important part of any evaluation since they permit us to probe both the limits of a CD player's sonics and the limits of our hearing in a standardized manner. This standard defines the methods of measurement and the form of disclosure of performance characteristics of consumer CD players. Thus, an understanding of specifications is crucial for designing engineers and consumers. For the EE 498 final project, we will make several performance measurements on portable CD players, describe how to make those measurements under EIA-560 specifications and how to evaluate the results.
