Default Tuned Creative X-Fi card

I try tune X-Fi Digital Audio (Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic)

RESULTS(Optical loop-back)
Noise level, dB (A): -104.8 >>> -147.8
Dynamic range, dB (A): 104.0 >>> 133.1
THD, %: 0.0002 >>> 0.0000
IMD + Noise, %: 0.0027 >>> 0.0003
Stereo crosstalk, dB: -103.3 >>> -145.7

Very EASY Tune

HOW TO:
1.
Gets Green Carbon Random #16 (Sweden) GC#16
(Green silicon carbide) for an absorption Electro-Magnetic
2.
0.8mm in thickness create board (USE Green Carbon Random #16)
I used epoxy.
3.
X-Fi separates and ..fixation.. a little.

Impression is Very Clear

Thankyou

optical loopback?

if the card is 24 bit clean, it's no surprise that you're getting those measurements, modded or not.

Funny, googling "green carbon random" gives exactly 1 hit:

So, I guess you shield the X-Fi?

Please post some pictures...

Perhaps you can inspire me to rebuild a terrible-sounding Audigy 4...

A while ago I also thought that I'm the best engineer, it was just so easy to improve a simple Live! to highest performance But someone told me the difference (internal loopback!)
