I was wondering if anyone here knows if the output circuit and headphone amp on the mbox2 mini is the same as on the regular mbox 2 or the mbox 2 pro.

I have a 003 rack and mixes on it sound fine through either of my monitor sets (Adam A7's and JBL LSR 2325's), but when I hook up my mini to the same system in the same room with the same session, it sounds unfocused and dull. I have the mbox to use at home for editing and lite mixing (the 003 is going to my new studio since the wife turned my old "studio" into a baby play room!!!). I dont know if the mbox 2 mini is good enogh for anything past editing, but if the regular mbox or pro has better output, I might spend the extra money. I was also thinking of picking up an 002, but I have limited space at home, not to mention prying little fingers that like to squich O's into anywhere they can go!

Thanks!
