1) The Forte has 115 dB SNR
2) The Xonar Essence has 117dB SNR
3) The 124dB SNR is on the coax outs, that have no amp attatched to them, so how the voltage is boosted is beyond me.
4) You're conspiracies make no sense

Oh, had I known upmixing the sample rate from 44.1khz to 96khz sounded better, I would have done it sooner.

I can't tell when music is bitmatched and neither can you. It's for audio mixing.
