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

Lots of card claim 24 bit, but a monotonicity check will often fail before
the 14th bit has been fully tested.
