I just got the FM3 and I am experimenting with different setups. I currently have the MOTU UltraLite mk3 and I connected the FM3 with XLRs to the MOTU and the sound was OK. My speakers are the Yamahas HS8.
Then I used the USB from the FM3 to connect it directly to the computer bypassing the MOTU, and I think the sound was better, I am still testing it.
So I have a question:
If I was to purchase the Universal Audio Apollo Twin x and connected the FM3 with spdif / toslink would that sound better than using the FM3 as the audio interface?
Also has anyone tried to use the FM3 with a MOTU interface using spdif? Would the sound quality be the same as with using the XLRs or about the same?
Thanks,
Costa
