Sony gave the XDR amazing reception capability, and its DSP section is very high quality. But its analog audio preamp can be improved:
The audio analyzer plots below are for the unmodified XDR audio preamp. Note the "infamous" treble droop.
Stock frequency response at selected frequencies (top), and a full audio sweep with the HP audio analyzer before applying audio upgrades (blue) and after the upgrades (red) (bottom).
NOTE: The first 3 columns of measurements are "raw" and do not ompensate for normal FM pre-emphasis at the transmitter and de-emphasis by the receiver. The other columns and the graph do factor in de-emphasis.
