Dave,

Doc hears (and reads) only what he wants to.... it's a useless
argument.

Professionls want the good stuff because we want to hear what we're
doing as accurately as possible.... could we do it with a
SBLive/Audigy... yeah, probably. But what's a few hundred dollars more
for a quality piece of equipment. My RME card is one of the least
expensive pieces of equipment I own.

And I'm sure RME, M-Audio are not the least bit "irked" as both
companies are doing exremely well and it's certainly not because of
some B.S hype they're pulling over the public's eyes. 

I own older Gibson and Fender guitars because to my ear, they sound
better.. and guess what, they cost a bit more as well. I don't mind
paying for quality.

I have a T-Shirt that says.... "Life Is Too Short For Bad Tone"
