Detailed Problem Description:
I"m arguing with this guy on this post

http://www.techist.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=119657&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

he says that the audigy 2

"it upsamples everything to 48khz in the dsp chip and then back down to 44.1khz on the spdif output before it puts out the
signal is already a very bad sign."

basically he is say that it converts the signal beforehand and then send the digital signal out which kind of defeats the purpose of it

please tell me that that isn't true

I said that it bypass the signal altogether so that the quality depends on your receiver or DAC
 
2nd one. I thought that they had repeated my question, so
I cursed a little

***** *** faggot. I was asking a simple question. A yes or nO would have suffice. I'm going to sue you ***** *** ****ers for false advertising a product as 24bit when it isn't

It must be true.
 
3rd

I want to apologize for my last email.I was a half sleep and at the first appearance it look like you didn't answer my question. I reread it this morning and I noticed that you did

I apologize again. We have this big heated argument about this right now.

We manage to shut that guy up. I originally thought that you repeated my question and then said you couldn't answer it. I got mad at that because I had bought 4 sound blaster cards in the past 5 years or so and I thought that I couldn't get a response.
Like I said I was a half asleep. Thanks again

You shouldn't tell them you are arguing with somebody about it, if anything that would even more incline them to avoid answering the question.

at first glance it looked liked he had repeated what I had said,
so I thought he didn't answer the question

at second glance it looked like he had repeated what I had said, which does answer my question because it goes to what I have been saying all along
