[QUOTE="slinki, post: 543805, member: 39694"] Hey all, What kind of soundcard are you all using? Perhaps the one that came with your mac? I recently upgraded to the AudioFire 2 from Echo. Its a neat little box that connects to the firewire 400 port on the mac of my iMac. It sounds quite good but I cant help thinking that there was a better sound quality from the creative soundblaster cards that I used in my old pc and laptop. These cards plugged straight into the motherboard (PCI), or 'Direct In' as I call them :Smirk: Could the fact that I'm now using firewire have any affect on sound quality? Would USB perhaps then be worse? Tell me what ya think peeps, and thanks for reading :) [/QUOTE]
