M Box & external converters

[tone]

I have been recording into the M Box using the converters on a Grace Lunatec and playing back through a Benchmark DAC1. (Using a Dell Laptop)

It sounds much better than the M-Box converters but the program has lots of hardware buffer errors.....seems like more than before I was using the external converters.

Could anyone suggest a reason/fix for this.

Also the consistent problem with ProTools LE hardware buffer errors and Windows computers (as documented on the Digidesign DUC)...............is it any better with Macs? Or is it a problem with LE?

Thanks in advance.

I guess it's as worse on Mac, my MBox is unusable on a dual G5, have to run at largest buffer all the time... It's ok for some editing and preparation of sessions, which is what i have it for, but never record with it.

How about using Logic and Your RME interface. Is that better for recording?
