If you're talking about the Martin Walker review, then I'm afraid you're not quite accurate in that assesment. He happens to own both the Mia and 1820M, which is why he uses those in tests for his reviews -- because he's familiar with them. Not because of any sonic superiority of either. If you really want to know what he considers to be "the best," you can check out a quote from his review of the Lynx II:
It's certainly the best-sounding soundcard I've ever reviewed, but as you might expect, it doesn't come cheap at around £1000. .... the real comparison should be with high-end stand-alone converter boxes, and by replacing the rack casing with two high-quality breakout cables, the Lynx Two provides audio performance on a par with rackmount gear costing considerably more. In short, I can't think of any other product that comes close!" Quote:

Not really. It's kind of fun to debate about this kind of stuff when I'm bored. It is kind of mildly annoying when people misquote, or make innacurate inferences from other people's published reviews, etc. but then I guess that's what they're for.
