OK,
I have gone to the Links you both(?) put up. While there is a lot of detailed information it appears it was all written by more layman types rather than Engineers. In other words one person quoting the other.

Now I don't know if the Basic Sound Card installed in the basic Computer is inferior to a upgraded Sound Card or not. The basic question I would have is, is there enough demand for a much better Sound Card as some state, or would there be such a small demand to make the manufacture prohibitive.

Without going into a lot of detail, there are tradeoffs in electronics design. To get one great spec you may sacrifice another. To gain a greater frequency response you may sacrifice dynamic range. Some audio recorders had both, at a great expense. The sount wasn't any better than recorders with a bit less specs.

James,
The Specs on dynamic range you quote may be correct, it depends how you measure it. Another subject that would require some in deph anaylisis.
