    M-Audio Fast Track Vs. E-MU 1212m

    Now I have both, and think the cards in both of them are great. But do you think I'd get a better "sound" running my fast track through the e-mu instead of via usb? so basically what I'm asking is, do you guys think the e-mu has better cards than the fast track ultra?
