I haven't tested the mic, but with a pair of Sennheiser HD 598SE I get no hum or hiss even when the headphone volume is cranked to 100% (no music playing). On these headphones I can't go above 50% before it's too loud. Also don't know if this matters but this is even with my PC currently plugged into an open ground outlet. If I run my finger over the metal PC case, I can feel a light buzzing sensation. Am going to eventually going to run a dedicated line but just moved into this house. The only thing I really want to input into the card is an electric bass, I'd rather go line in than mic, but most DI boxes I see output @ mic level. It's an active pickup, but even so the instrument level out lvl is too low.
