Well actually the 1212m has extremely low levels of distortion in both the DA and AD sections.
The only thing bad I have to say about it is that it is rather boring and sterile, but I will say that a mix going through it in loopback is totally indistinguishable from the original up till about 7 generations of DA-AD loopback, at which point the high-end seems to have been rolled off a bit.

I admit this is using a modded card which has the DC-filtering caps bypassed and new opamps in the output section, though only the former seemed to make any qualitive sound quality change to my ears.
