I dunno the story but my Desktop sounds better thru the SPIDF than the 1/4 when running it into my Pioneer 800 mixer....I dont have another mixer to try plugging both into and trying it....maybe an analogue mixer would make a differece!

I tried before using it as soundcard.. but with OSX2.something i forgot.

I dont know if OSX3 will be better? Anyone tried it?

Thanks

I am using it as my only soundcard, and it has worked perfectly so far. I am also using the MIDI interface to connect in my Roland RD700sx. I am running OS 2.7.5, though.
