It looks like a 'not so expensive' firewire soundcard. Tom's has reviewed it, but I would like to know if any of you audiophiles has tested it and how did it perform.

Tom's review

I am also interested in this card. I emailed the reviewer from Tom's hardware (Jean-Pierre Roche) to get the global figures for dynamic range and distorsions since it is not easy to calculate from the nice graph pictures. His answer was (roughly translated from French) "We give our conclusions for you! If you do not understand technique, do not rely on them: it is the best way to make errors. The figures given by RMAA are just interpretation made by the software and - for us - it is non-sense".

Wow! In this case, I do not understand why they even publish the beautiful RMAA graphs... They should directly go with the conclusion since they *have* the knowledge (I particulary appreciate the comment "The noise was slightly reduced but it was clearly pushing the limits of the card" when the SNR goes from 98dB for 16bits/44kHz to
99.1dB for 24bits/48kHz, while considering that global A-weighted value for dynamic range is non-sense.)

Anyway, do anybody know where to get full RMAA measurements?
