    The geezer hasn't offered the 0204 on the forum, just the two models I mentioned. You can see them here: http://soft.com.sg/forum/forumdisplay.php/55-Sound-Gear-Buy-Sell   might have to click on to page 2.   The strangest thing with E-MU, I called up Creative, whose global HQ is here in...

    I was talking about the m-audio mobile-pre usb or the fast track pro.  but yes, i have also read that lots of people have issues with m-audio.    I'm using Windows XP. Some guy is offering a 0202 usb for about $80 and the 0404 usb for about $150 on a local forum.   The authorized...

    What I'm wondering is if the quality of componenets used by E-MU would match those by say M-Audio or Focusrite ? I have my doubts on this...   On a local audio forum, someone just listed a brand new E-MU 0202 USB and a E-MU 0404 USB for very good prices, so they are on the radar. Maybe the 0202...

    Quote: Though your logic is sound ;), I'm looking for the best possible quality for under $350. So though the $40 could well do the job for me, I'm sure something a little more advanced (and expensive) could do it better (which is what I'm looking for really - quality).   juman231...

    Sound advice.  I don't think I will be using half the inputs and outputs on that Focusrite bit of kit.    More reading to be done........

    also, i would like to add that so far my experience with the KRK's is that the bass is a little muddy and it is tough to tell minor variations in the lows sometimes....   this maybe important when choosing a DAC i presume!

    Thanks vm for your reply... What would you recommend considering I am connected to a pair of KRK Rokit 6's. DAC or Amp+DAC?   Also any thoughts on the Focusrite equipment I have my eye on?

    hi, i listen to lossless audio (flac and wav mostly). I also record some mixes once in a while with these lossless files.   yes i'm not going to consider anything cheap, since QUALITY is paramount here.

    I have been a little confused, and as is the case with the wacky world of audio, the more you read, often times, the more confused you get.   Anyway, I am looking to basically bypass the rubbsih internal soundcard on my Lenovo Thinkpad and get something with half decent sound quality to...

    I want to upgrade from an ATH-M50

    Hi, I am also in the market for some quality cans around $200. I was all set on the Shure SRH840, until I went to the store to try them out. First off, they are alot bigger and heavier on your head than the M50s and slightly less comfortable. I also read in another thread here something...
