The amount of noise level you get in this situation is directly connected to the quality of the components used to build the unit. This is the difference I see when looking at good units and cheaper options.

Which is why before I got involved with dB-Mark I purchased two of their units for evaluation.
The first thing I did was to take off the cover and inspect the following parts ADC, DAC, DSP, and the Op-Amps.
The first three were pretty much as good as you can get without getting silly and the op-amps were a type that I was not familiar with, however a quick search on the net found that they were used in some hi-end CD players and the like as well as my favourite PCI sound card the Emu 1212M so again no worries there.
Tests done by Audiomik and others have shown the unit to be considerably quieter than the Berry (established budget benchmark). They also sound to my ears and others with better and younger ears than mine to be very neutral sounding and the most important thing to appear to be very very reliable.
Don't always think that compromises have to be made because it is a budget product.
