cards do use an Envy24 chip. The converters and op-amps could cause bad

In practical terms, they make absolutely no difference at all. Some
on-board chips are quite bad for ground-loop noise getting in from other

If your recordings sound shite, it's because your technique is shite.
Or possibly your playing. All the sound cards sound the same.
