For a while now I have been using a first generation M-Audio MobilePre USB. I have been using it with my HD598 headphones and also using the line-in to plug in my electric guitar and bass guitar. The quality seems good but I don't notice a huge difference over onboard sound. I can however crank the volume higher now if desired, which is nice.
Just last week I managed to find an E-MU 0404 from a garage sale. Now I know both of these interfaces are quite old, but the E-MU 0404 was very popular back in the day. The E-MU 0404 has a lot more features but I doubt I will use them. It also requires a power adapter where as the MobilePre is powered via USB.
Does anyone here experience with either product? I am wondering if I will get better sound quality through my headphones if I use the E-MU 0404? Maybe there are some tweaks I can do?
