This is true. I have a variety of pro audio interfaces (firewire, adat lightpipe, pci) and the sound quality is no comparison to the $1 chips, esp when you are listening to 32-bit/96+ kHz wav files. Having said that the $1 chips have come a long way. I remember in the 90's plugging headphones/speakers into my PC was unlistenable and you needed to get at least a cheap SoundBlaster card. These days I am less picky about sound quality, but that's also cause I don't really have time to sit down at home and enjoy sound quality so most of my listening is sporadicly on the road.
nice setup, there's so much going on in that rack.
what are powering the Alessi monitors with?
another thing I'd like to try to setup is a mini version like yours for kids, we talked about it last year, but I'm not musical so scares me a bit
