Comparison At 24 Bits/96 KHz
Frequency response : Here the Creative devices came out ahead over the Aureon cards. The audio spectrum of all of the cards test, however, generated negligible errors.
Noise level : No surprise with the ranking order that had by now been well established. Platinum EX was first, Platinum last and the two Aureons in between, closer to the Platinum EX.
Dynamic capacity =: same ranking here again!
Distortion : The Platinum EX had very extremely small distortion levels, while the Platinum was slightly handicapped by one particularly noise variable. However, all the results were excellent.
Intermodulation : at this frequency, all the contestants achieved excellent results.
Crosstalk : The general pattern of the results - the crosstalk of the Aureons increased with the frequency - remained unchanged, with the Platinum EX still in the lead.
