[snip] The level might be 120-130dB SPL, but neither myself nor my neighbors will hear it that loud - again, I am not going to go into details of my rig. Also, the processing is heavily DFT based, so SNR in the whole band and measured results confidence are quite different things. For example, modelling part of the whole process I was able to obtain timing accuracy of 0.2 samples having SNR of just 10 power-wise (Gaussian noise). Anyway, I want the soundcard to be "non-existent", i.e. I want to achieve the situation that soundcard noise contribution is negligible compared to what I already have in my system.
