If you can't bear to hear the truth that's not my fault.
I think the disconnect here, is that you believe my system is less than optimal because of this Soundblaster card. I'm not using the card for any processing or conversion, merely a pass-through. My converter is superior to all the interfaces you suggested (and satisfies my needs). And, as I've already stated multiple times, the specs on my Soundblaster model are equal or better than Focusrite, Motu, and every other alternative you suggested.

Originally, when I started this thread, I thought I needed a new sound card. After your replies and some of my own research I realized I don't. That's the truth. I'm sorry you can't bear to hear it.

And my Soundblaster card model is not a gamer card... They make a lot of gamer cards but this one isn't. But even if it was, most of the video cards users have are gamer video cards. I don't share your prejudice against "gamer" ware. If the specs are good, and it works, why not!
