I've seen this White Paper a few times, and you're right about the color assignments: the gradation seems to stop at a certain point in cyan and then jump to a steady blue which does not change through the remainder of the range. This color scheme acts as a visual noise gate to hide the flaws in the BIAS product. However, if the same color assignment is used for all products, then it is at least a fair indication that the others they tested all have higher noise.

I was thinking about that some more. It is also possible that the threshold is set at the level that cuts off 24 bit truncation artifacts. It's certainly pretty close to that. Of course I can't afford Matlab to find out for myself.

The link that Bias cites as "matching our results" is much more accurate in showing the flaws of the Bias SRC.

This shows clear aliasing in Bias Peak Pro 5.2, and I'm not sure how the White Paper was able to hide this aliasing, even with their color assignments. I like the way the Infinite Wave graphs look, better than the prior Matlab ones.

I like that one better, too. It looks like it doesn't have a cutoff on the low end (or it has a much lower cutoff). It's dead black where all the others have a slight haze of dark blue (truncation error). The only thing is they don't show the plot of the source file.
