Due to the large amount charts in the previous pages, we have taken the two most common bit/kHz rates (16/48 & 24/48) and combined them into one set of easy to read visuals. The results from the Audigy 2 are displayed in both white and green, while the Ultimate Edge is in teal and purple.
Since the results have already been discussed on a previous page, there is no sense in us rehashing them again. However, in reference to the graphs above, you can clearly see the difference in sound quality produced by both cards. In most cases, the closer the plotted line is to the bottom of the graph, the better.
