Please, please, at least try to be a bit informed before writing.
Audio quality is determined by the AD and DA converters and their
clocks, not by any digital interface circuits such as the Envy24.

My Envy24 based Terratec (from the time that firm still produced
interesting stuff) is actually among the best I ever measured.
And it sounds *much* better than most 'consumer' cards I've ever
seen.
