Here is a summary

low distortion/wide audio bandwidth

Plenty of headroom for driving level hungry soundcards

I'm curious, in the context of feeding a soundcard's input -- how common
is the problem of a preamp/device (especially a +4dBu one) lacking
'headroom', and for -which- sound cards? Or did the author mean 'plenty
of gain for accommodating low level sources'?

A related question, on digital devices with analog inputs (-10dBv or +4
dBu) -- Is there a standard (or common practice) for the specification
of what input level converts to 0 dBFS (not clipped)?

Just wondering,
