Um, how can you possibly ever go over 0dBFS ? Do some homework as
understand just how silly that makes you look !

Firstly, YOU do your homework, the ANALOGUE output can go over the 0dBFS
level under certain circumstances. Look up Jim Lesurf's work on the
subject.

0dBFS relates to the digital signal only, IF the analog output goes over the
corresponding voltage level set by that card for a 0dBFS signal applied to
it, then its FAULTY.

Secondly, the ANALOGUE output has to be totally clean when playing a 0dBFS
DIGITAL signal, not just one that goes to -1dBFS or even -0.1dBFS.

Absolutely, and even the $20 soundcards do that quite adequately IME.
*IF* you have SPECIFIC instances where this does not happen, please let
others know of the crap they should avoid!!!
Otherwise move on.
