There is nothing more to add, those figures are self-explainable. The
table below is just to keep all of them in a single place, hope it will be of
some use. Top 3 results are bolded and coloured in red, green and blue
respectively. SNR is omitted because THD+N is not. It seems that the winner
is
TBS MultiSound Fiji (three greens), though
TBS MultiSound
Tahiti and
Creative Audigy 2 follow it closely (one red + one blue
each).
