另外一個是Tech Report的Audigy評論.
雖然這是Audigy一代, 但因為與Audigy2的晶片可能是同一顆應該還有參考價值, 該文作者顯然也這樣猜測.

Creative's Audigy
The old standard
I won't be covering the Audigy in much depth here because we already reviewed the card back in our Sound Alternatives sound card round-up. However, since I'll be using the Audigy for some comparative performance and listening tests, it's worth briefly going over a few of the card's finer points.

Unfortunately, Creative was unresponsive when asked if they'd like to participate in this comparison, even after repeated invitations to showcase their Audigy 2. Perhaps they were worried we'd uncover limitations with the Audigy 2 like we did its predecessor.

When the Audigy first came out, Creative touted the card's supposed support for 24-bit audio at 96kHz. The Audigy's DACs support 24-bit audio at 96kHz, so there's some truth to Creative's marketing spin. However the DACs are the only components on the Audigy that support 24-bit/96kHz audio. The card's audio chip and ADCs are both limited to 16-bit audio at 48kHz. No matter how good that 24-bit/96kHz DAC is, it's still getting a signal from the audio chip that's been digitally processed at 16 bits/48kHz. It's sort of like feeding a set of audiophile-quality speakers with an audio signal from a dusty old tape deck; the speakers aren't going to make the source audio sound any better.
At best Creative's claimed support for 24-bit/96kHz playback a case of, erm, creative marketing. Since we have the luxury of testing Terratec's DMX 6fire 24/96, which is a true 24-bit/96kHz audio card, we'll be able to contrast the Audigy's pseudo 24/96 support against a real 24/96 contender.
