There are good and bad-sounding cards out there. But I wouldn't
worry too much about this particular bit of snake-oil. You've picked
it up from an audiophile review or advert? Come on over to the pro
audio world. You can still spend a lot of money if you insist, but
you'll get more for it than in the audiophile arena :-)


I have actually picked it up from reviewing schematics of CD players and
stand alone DACs that I own or have considered owning.

Yeah. But is it a marketing ploy, or is it actually solving a real
problem?


As far as I am concerned it does make a difference. Don't believe me?
Fine don't. I really don't care. Either the card I am looking for exists
or it doesn't. Unfortunately it appears it does not. So I am going to
have to start from scratch pouring over spec sheets.

The pro cards have more capabilities than what I would ever need but I fear
that they pro cards are geared toward 600 ohm balanced and I need high
impedance (~50k ohm) unbalanced as well as 600 ohms balanced.
