audio out, usb/firewire, apogee duet
We need a fairly simple audio out for our two macbook pros. we use the earphone mini out, but i am pretty sure that this earphone port is limited somehow, and the sound quality would be noticeably higher if we use instead the usb or firewire ports with an interface. so we need to get two.
I read in the forums here and saw this lauded - Apogee Duet FireWire Audio Interface.
In addition to all its other capabilities, would this serve simply as a high-quality audio out? really better than the mini earphone out?
this is for a live situation, using keyboards (kurzweil sp2x) to play Mainstage (thru USB) with logic/garageband samples.
thanks all in advance, for any comments/opinions.
