24. Comparison At 44.1kHz
| Frequency response (40 Hz - 15 kHz) | +0.05, -0.18 dB |
| Weighted signal-to-noise ratio | 86 dB(A) |
| THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) | 0.01 % |
| Stereo crosstalk | 70 dB |
Frequency response : good linearity which hardly ever leaves the straight except above 10kHz and with a very low rate of error.
Noise level : a very good result for a card in this category with noise that is low and regular.
Dynamic range : a good result, though we have known better.
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) : distortion is low in spite of a bit of noise.
IMD (Intermodulation distortion) : a very satisfactory result, especially for the card's category.
Stereo crosstalk : not a real weak point, but stereo crosstalk is not as good as on some other models.
