You’ll have to convert the exported file from 32bit float 48kHz to 16/44.1 before you burn it to a CDR or the CD player will not play it. Some DVD players might?

I’ve been experimenting with CD players too and wanted to get @matt to chime in and confirm a bit on the triggered functions.

At 32kFFT/48ksps:  
The preamble can be low level dither?  
The trigger tone is 50mS (50 cycles) of 1kHz?  
The gap before commencing acquisition is ~35mS? Does it have to be exactly that?  
The expo chirp is 300mS@48ksps?

I wanted to be able to make my own files for burning to CDR, without having to SRC the 32/48 to 16/44.1 as we cannot do 44.1 natively in the QA403. (I figure that needs another XTAL TCXO?)

Cheers,

John
