Adriaensen did opine:
Be very careful with what you read on
'audiophile' forums. 99% of the
high-end audio business is based on ignorance and hype these days.
Chuckle. I have to disagree a wee bit Fons, you under-estimate the
percentage that is all smoke and mirrors, its at least 99.9% these days. :)
Lots of card claim 24 bit, but a monotonicity check will often fail before
the 14th bit has been fully tested.
Is this on pure digital devices (where you should expect bit-perfect results)?
Are you claiming that manufacturers in practice don't meet the specs
listed for their devices?
Does this seem like a trend, or are there just some interfaces with
bugs out there?
Are some brands notoriously worse than others?
(just curious, since one wouldn't want to buy crappy equipment)
Have fun! :)
