These specs are not particularly good. The fact that the noise figures get
worse at the higher resolution are suspicious. Without knowing more about
how the measurements were made it looks like your are getting about 15 bits
of performance out of this card.
Depends on what you're recording, this might be sufficient for spoken word,
but take a look at the Metric Halo Mobile I/O, it goes for about a grand.
