[QUOTE="Byrd2, post: 12947, member: 384"] I dont imagine that EMI is a big factor in sound cards if they are properly shielded. I can hear 0 additional noise (noise from power amp) introduced by my internal sound board. There are some good board out there but you pay through the noise for them. My opinion, yes audiophile quality from HDD possible, but VERY expensive if you are going to do it properly. The other thing that adds to the cost of the board is ensuring you have a good silent power supply, case and cooling system. You can then have a device that is even quieter than a CDP. I hate at very low volume levels hearing that motor ticking away. [/QUOTE]
