Nuff said. Well Mr. Dormer we let Middius and you play with that little delusion of yours. BTW how many lies have I caught you telling in the last 30 days? I don't count but I know its been more than one... > Krooger, I posted some links to test results of the Live! 4830 which > are *significantly* better than your own.

OK you got a card that performs a little better in analog (4 dB) than the one I got. Good for you! Now prove that the card I've got is really that good but I've been fudging the results. Of course you can't. Furthermore you've only tested on card. I've tested several permutations of the Live!, and several samples of several of them. > So why don't you do something pro-active with your life and admit in > the relevant locations on your website that your results with the > Live! are flawed and/or antiquated, rather than allowing users of your > website to be perpetually misinformed? I'm not going to get that excited over 4 dB. As far as your claim to have measured 97 dB SNR in a 16 bit environment, that appears to be better than that which is theoretically possible. Digital I/O can help, but not quite that much! >Why don't you finally correct > the widespread rumour that you started, that the digital output of the > Live! is worse than the analog output.. which it MOST CERTAINLY IS > NOT! Mr. Dormer, please come back when you have results that are believable and relevant to the tests you are comparing them to. The cards I tested did what I say they did, pure and simple. Others have confirmed my results. I've confirmed my own results with other samples of the same model card. Mr. Dormer, if you've got a new hotshot card that's got analog I/O that's 4 dB better, that's not totally unbelievable. Good for you! I guess its the luck of the draw. But measuring 97 dB in a 16 bit environment takes some doing... especially if your test signal is properly dithered. Theoretical max is 96 dB unweighted, isn't it?
