Is there any difference between hi-end and low-end PCI sound cards?

I've tested twenty PCI sound cards, if there's any difference in sound quality between them. Well, tested.... I've just recorded ten different tracks with each card. Can you actually hear any difference whatsoever? If you don't trust in youtube's compression, you can download original recordings here: https://www.karlsitretro.com/reviews/...
