I too have thought about trying the MMP/E combo in the future.
I'll def. go back to some apogee box in the future but like most can't stand the size!
On the Mme I had, the spdif would barely even set. The hole was like douple the size of the pin!
It would've prolly been an easy fix, but the AES is bombproof, so I figured why bother.
four-hun-do is a steal!!!!!!!!
