Of course this isn't true. It turns out that the two cards are different versions of the same basic technology that originated with the Ensoniq AudioPCI. I suspect you could unsolder the DSP and DAC from any of these cards, interchange them, and they'd still all work. The SB PCI 16 is the cheaper card and has historically had a Codec chip with the lower performance. I tried a recent-production PCI 128 just recently, and it had degraded significantly since when I tested it for www.pcavtech.com a couple of years ago. I've pretty well written off the whole series of cards, whatever name CL puts on it.
