Discussion Of Results
Since the performance of this card meets or equals that of any other card tested or available, all of its functions were tested in loop-back mode, showing the performance of both the input and output portions of the card.
The digital portion side of the card are "bit perfect". It is even capable of passing AC-3 signals without alterations.
