9. Performance At 24 Bits/48 KHz

Moving up to 24 bits/48 kHz, enables use of the card's most important capabilities, which were near the top of the range performance! You can get better - such as the Audigy 4 - but the Video Editor gives excellent results.

Frequency response (20 Hz - 20 kHz): +0.09, -0.89 dB

Signal/Noise Ratio: : 100.9 dB(A)
Distortion: 0.0015%
Stereo separation: 98.9 dB

Frequency Response: Low amplitude undulations but limited to the high frequency end.

Noise level: Sampling at 24 bits, noise is really very low.

Dynamic Range: Dynamic range hits a high standard, considerably beyond most people's needs...

Distortion: Again, better than -100 dB, and the harmonics won't bother you.

Intermodulation: Excellent results here as well...

Stereo separation: An excellent result - even though it takes a back seat to an Audigy 4.
