Anyway, if you want to test your converters, just do a loopback - connect the output of one channel to the input of another with a short cable and record without any music going out. You can analyze the noise floor of the resulting 'silent' track to your heart's content.

You can also use RMAA to do the analysis for you. In my experience, the noise floor specs are usually about 5-6 dB higher than what manufacturers claim.
