Auzen Forte vs ASUS Xonar Essence STX

[ROBSCIX]

Actually, I just had a look at my results again and it is about ~115dB (act. 115.1 dB measr.) so those specs are fairly accurate. I mixed up the spec with another card.

Also your other post is a bit off about the STX, the STX has a SNR of about 124dB. If you measure the card you will get about a 117dB SNR which is why you quoted that # I suspect.

There are many reasons why that number would come up for the STX but mainly because if you do a loopback test with the STX you will hit the limits of the recording section which is 117 dB.
