Yes there is a difference, but it is one of kind rather than degree of quality. I have a good ear for recording, and I'm monitoring through good audiophile phones too.

Anyone using the same equipment want to convince me that a better converter would still be worth getting? The biggest pain about it seems to be that using the s/pdif on the Mbox would give me no way to monitor what I was recording, which seems to make it useless in the first place...
AWESOME!!! It doesn't matter what anyone else has to say... if you love the sound you're getting, then run with it and ignore anyone who tries to tell you otherwise.
The only reason I always buy more crap is because I'm never really satisfied... I'm beginning to realize that it will never change for me.
