Tom's Hardware sound card/DAC tests

I found this article from Tom's Hardware where they tested (blind test) a few different DAC's and sound cards.

I found it to be a pretty interesting read with what seems to be a near perfect testing protocol and the results are pretty surprising.

 

What do you guys think about it?

They need to test some older sound cards. Sound cards were really at their peak at around the early 2000's

With newer motherboards having pretty decent onboard audio, there has been less of a need to get an after market sound card.

They need to test cards such as the audigy 2 zs and many others around that time period.

I haven't read through the whole thing yet, but I'm impressed so far. They pretty much confirmed everything that Logan has been saying in the audio myth videos. I'm anxiously awaiting to see what their results are when they redo the experiment for lower impedance headphones.
