How do you rate the sound of the FireFace 800?
I built this computer with a very stable power supply, and a quiet fan from end pc noise. The sound card is external and is the RME Fireface 800. Connection to the computer is via Firewire 800 interconnect
The fidelity of the Fireface is beyond reproach. It is the nicest sounding DAC I know. There are a few minor bugs though. The worst one is that if you switch it off when the control screen is up, it locks up your computer. So you have to be careful to always close the screen before switch off. I would still highly recommend this unit.
