its speculation, but i think your hag unit will be better.

i know the grass is always greener, but why trade in from a well respected unit like the hag to a chinese kit?

if you are looking at an upgrade in the same kind of price league go with another well known unit, trends UD-10.1 or lite with PSU - i prefer it to the hag i had!
 
Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been hoping that some 24/96 alternatives would emerge from these small, bespoke companies, but the ones are very expensive.

The Musiland Lilo III had me excited, due to it's low jitter USB implementation, but then I heard that the SPDIF Chip is so bad that it would add loads of jitter back at the other end.

I am now considering the ESI U24 XL or a Firewire device. As I am a musician, all the other bits (ADC/Mic Pre amps etc) are a bonus too.

I just hope that these devices are as good as the HagUsb, Trends or PopPulse with 16/44.1 material?
 
I am happy with the Hag unit, but I have nothing else to compare it too. However, I do need something that can handle high resolution audio. The JAVS units seem good and I am looking at Firewire devices from M-Audio etc.

I think my Hag cost about £120, which seems a little expensive considering the price of other units.

I will consider a clock upgrade though. How much of an improvement to jitter/sound quality do you think it will have.

Thanks
