The Watering Hole

I just upgraded my audio pc with a new soundcard.

Replaced the M-Audio Delta 44 with the M-Audio Delta 66.

Now I have SPDIF input.  Recordings direct from the PodX3 sound much better via SPDIF.

pics!  Clips!   :)

Interesting!  So, other dudes who've already had SPDIF, is this the norm?  How much of an improvement is it???  

Seriously?
I cannot tell a difference between S/Pdif recording or direct out recordings with my PodX3. Sounds exactly the same to me. I'm using an M-Audio card with S/Pdif ins and normal ins aswell.
On the A/B comparison clips I made there was absolutely no difference after adjusting the volume difference on all clips.
