I've been playing with a friends Edirol ua-25 and I'm fairly impressed with it. So much so that I'm thinking of getting one for my ibook. I'm wondering if I'd be better off holding out for a ua-5. It seems posters here prefer the ua-5 but if one had no need for coax in and was only going to use USB in / RCA out, is there any significant difference in sound quality between models? Has anyone compared them side by side? I understand that theoretically the lack of a powersupply in the ua-5 might improve things but is that a reality?I was getting some glitches in the sound with the ua-25. Problem was solved with the latest driver. Does anyone know if the latest driver for the ua-25 will work with the ua-5?

Follow Ups:
The power supply in the UA-5 makes it the better choice as well as the coaxial output. I have modded the UA-25 and it can be made just as good as the 5 with $$$. The mods make it better actually, but both of them modded would probably be identical.

How come you aren't doing some mods on the SB2? ie clock, better quality SPDIF, better power supply etc.

I have so many projects on the back-burner. Unless someone sends me one to mod, I probably wont get to it. I have these projects on the drawing board:1) AirPort Express mods
2) Creative Audigy 2NX mods
3) Intelligent battery power supply
4) 2706 converter
5) Off-Ramp with I2S interface
6) Simple preamp with remote
7) DAC design
Thanks for thr reply. Do you know if the latest driver for the 25 works with the 5?
