Well, that's a rather large generalization.  All the converters I own, in
cards, mixers, and stand-alone have good enough noise floor specs for that
not to be the case.  In fact, as far as I can tell, only the cheaper audio
cards have that trouble.

Now, that said, it's easy for your system to introduce noise in other ways,
and that is more of a common problem, and that just means you really have to
choose each component in the chain more carefully, as well as using a room
with some acoustical treatment.

Best,
