"Why not put such a device inside a harsh noisy environment?"
IMHO, because the analog sections of the DAC should not be in that harsh noisy environment.

that seems to shrug off the harsh environment inside a PC.
Now come on, in all honesty, where in that battery of measurements does it become apparent that the component under review is in "the harsh environment inside a PC?"

...that card uses a DSD capable chip!
The point is well made. Even my integrated audio produces clean and crisp, analogue audio signals, and that's buried in the middle of the motherboard.
Not to mention the vast array of analogue TV and FM tuners available for the PCI bus, which cope perfectly with the environment.
Boy, do you have a lot to "learn" about PC audio! Park your common sense at the door please! Ignore all the information your ears present to your mind! Forget everything you learned in school about logic! Who cares if there are literally thousands of intelligent, skilled and educated people out there pushing on a daily basis the boundaries of audio fidelity? There are a dozen or so folks here who will explain to you how you and everyone else are all wrong, and some of them will even be happy to sell you multi-thousand dollar solutions to problems you never even knew existed!
Your trip down the rabbit-hole hasn't even begun!

the people here may be delusional, but they are not stupid. I'll freely admit that most of them are smarter than me.
Have you ever boxed? Going against an inferior opponent may be satisfying, but you learn little. Going against a superior opponent may be embarrassing, and end up with you on your ass, with a bloody nose, but you will learn a lot.
I've learned a lot from posting here. But before I started posting here I'd already learned how to hang on to my wallet.
Have fun here, but make sure to keep an eye on your wallet!

You'll get no arguments from me on the education and fun to be had, and thanks for your input.
You're welcome to use an internal sound card or onboard audio if you wish. Most here prefer the flexibility of using an outboard DAC. I've tried a number of them and they all sound a little different.
