Hi everyone!
I just recently got into this whole audiophile hobby. This is my first post on these forums, but I've read through them a ton!
Anyways, I do a little bit of music recording, so I own an Mbox-2. I also own a recent i5 iMac, which seems to use an onboard chip for sound. Now, I can set the output of the iMac to the mbox2, and plug in my headphones into the mbox2 to listen to music. This basically means the sound card/DAC is the mbox2, right? Does anyone know how this compares to a real DAC like the UDAC? Is it worth it to buy another DAC or should I just use the mbox? Or am I a dumb dumb?
Thanks for any responses! =)
