My real problem with the SBLive is all the crap it does in the digital domain with insufficient resolution. The s/pdiff input goes through no fewer than 3 mixer controls and by the time the computer gets the data it is worse than using the analog inputs. Doing *anything* to the s/pdif input data is ludicrous. I just want the fucking data. I don't want it processed to hell and back.
