The 16 bit/ 44.1 kHz tests gave positive results, though not the same level of quality. This is because when the Audigy 2 resamples all the 44.1 kHz flow rates in 48 kHz, corresponding to the DSP's internal frequency, rates above 48 kHz do not get resampled. So here we have a paradox: the Audigy 2 produces near-perfect sound in 24 bit/ 96 kHz playback (i.e. DVD Audio), but is not as good in 16 bit/ 44.1 kHz playback (such as CD Audio).
| Results Right Mark Audio Analyser | ||
|---|---|---|
| Frequency response (from 40 Hz to 15 kHz), dB: | +0.05, -0.17 | Very good |
| Noise level, dB (A): | -92.5 | Very good |

| THD, %: | 0.0018 | Excellent |
| IMD, %: | 1.393 | Poor |
| Stereo crosstalk, dB: | -85.1 | Excellent |
You can see the test results are generally positive, except for the intermodulation one. This is evidently due to resampling in 48 kHz.
