No argument here. Most are better than nothing, but still lie like a rug

I wasn't aware of that bit of code, thanks Fons.
Now that I've been retired for over a decade, lots of that stuff goes right
on by I'm sorry to say. What does it use for its A/D converter? Not all
audio cards have sufficient depth to pull that off w/o the converter
showing what a POC it is if the input level is off 3 to 6 db from ideal.
My audigy2 value I would call just usable with its 24 bit range.
