Do you REALLY think that people pay $800 or more for a card such as a RME Hamerfall just for the boasting rights? Your statement above speaks more about how you feel the need to justify the use of a SB card. Some people can hear and appreciate high quality hardware and the sound it produces. Even for the same price as a SB you can get audio cards like the Audiophile 2496 that outperform the SB. Have you even tried other cards besides the SB? Don't mistake your own ignorance for reality.
