Firestone Audio Fubar I/O - Edirol UA1-EX

Greetings,

Typically I hang out in the Pioneer thread as that's my thing. However, I recently picked up a Firestone Audio Fubar I/O USB DAC/ADC from Audiophile Products (no affiliation) and thought I'd share my experience.
I had been using a Edirol UA-1EX but the fact that it is USB powered means the output is only one volt peak to peak versus the rest of my gear which is typically two volts peak to peak. This unfortunately meant that my digital audio was a much lower level than my other sources.
The Fubar I/O has resolved this disparity and I have to say that I'm also very pleased with the sound! It's a bit bigger than the Edirol overall but the construction is more rugged and the build quality seems better to me (aluminum cube verses plastic case).
The Edirol has a couple of extra features like a headphone jack and digital input along with a headphone volume control and input volume control. So I guess it just depends on what you are looking for but so far I'm very happy with the Fubar I/O.
Also two thumbs up to Audiophile Products for prompt email response and fast shipping.

If anyone wants more details, let me know...

Finally had a chance to do some digital recording with the Fubar I/O and am also very happy with the results! So, all in all, a great price/performance external USB DAC/ADC. The only thing it's missing in my opinion is a knob to adjust the input signal for situations where you are transferring from vinyl or tape.
