Sounds like you've never heard one of these cards in action. The entire
analog section is mu-metal shielded, and in terms of quality can stand with
the best of the "external" designs. Personally, I define "professional" as
that which meets a certain standard of quality in operation and features,
which these cards certainly do. *How* that is achieved is really irrelevant.
BTW, these cards work very well under Linux right now, using AudioScience's
HPI interface.
Cheers!
