I don't think it is misleading at all, the card is capble of 124 dB for it's stereo output, which is the cards main outputs so this is what they are advertising. If you want to use the onboard headphones amplifier then you have another set of specifications which relate to that component. While 110dB isn't as nice as 124 dB SNR, there is nothing "mere" about it and 110db SNR for the headphone output will still surpass many soundcards main outputs. The card sound very nice with headphones and for stereo output and that is stock. For all the modders out there this is a nice card to start with.
@GreekJohn, I find many blow EMI/RFI way out of propartion when speaking about soundcards. There is only certain places the card is actually suceptible and soundcards have filtering circuitry to deal with it. While EMI/RFI is a real consideration in some respects many don't understand how it actually affects their devices and if it is actually a issue at all.
