Thats a weak performance, even cheaper cards can hit 96dB theoretical limit at 16/44 with lesser components, and the Elite Pro with premium DAC and components can't even do that?

At 24/96, thats all it can do? Man the 0404 and 1212M blows it away. Save yourselves $399 and just get a 0404 for $99 or 1212M for $199.

Blown away? By price only. The 0404 & 1212m don't have 1/4th of the other features of the X-Fi Pro, which makes up the difference in cost.
