they're just not very clear at all to me and the output is quite weak

i've just bought the duet to handle this conversion for me which it should be great for. i tested the headphone out against the built-in headphone jack on my mac pro at work and the duet is crystal clear and open sounding
i was tryin to avoid annoying fw devices! lol

but maybe the Duet is the answer at least for inputs then i can route the output through a benchmark DAC-1 usb?

would that work?

peace
