Why do you think the SBLive is not sufficiently serious. That is to
say, what's the characteristic of a high-end computer sound card that
makes it recommendable for serious work? I can imagine these as
possible answers:
1.) Low noise characteristics, including power-line noise. But
maybe power-line noise is less a function of the sound card,
and more a function of the entire system and its relation to
the power supply.
2.) Low harmonic distortion, though I would not thing HD is really
a big deal in modern electronics.
3.) Is sample jitter a problem?
4.) Is sample width a problem?
5.) I can suppose that the interface is important. By this I
mean the programming interface, and not the applications used
to control the device. Since the latter are either Windows
applications, or Linux, device independent applications,
the device choice doesn't have that much to do with this.
I really have no clue. I don't have a real application in mind. I'm
just curious. If this has already been hashed out earlier in this
thread, I apologize for repeating, and I'll withstand being
ignored.
