  IMO it would be better if it would say something like "more info", "docs",
"details" etc.

  I also think that it would be very useful to have more info for
prospective buyers because at this point it is basically impossible to find
out which soundcard to buy. I am not saying you should do something about it
right now, but I hope you'll think about it:-)
