Gordon pointed out that the existing FireWire chipsets used for isochronous (adaptive) mode have horrible jitter. Something like 10x worse than a good S/PDIF connection. And in my view, S/PDIF is fundamentally flawed.

So I would say that unless your FireWire equipment is using Bulk (asynchronous) mode, that you are probably better off with some other type of computer audio device.
