Well, it sound's very good to my ears.
This was the first cheap sound card which REALLY fulfils all the
specifications of the manufactor.
If you record at 48 with no signal, you get a -90.3 dB sound floor, with a
DC bias of 0.
If you record at 44 with no signal, you get a -73.0 dB sound floor, with a
DC bias of -2.
At least these were the results my card gave.
I bought this card about two years ago and I can deffinatly say it was the
best $54 I ever spend.
It should be even cheaper today.
It's sound it's absolutly SUPERB.
I think you really should try one before concluding it's not worth it.
