Have had very nice SQ improvement adding the generic FMC set between my router and macbook pro. Tried adding a second usb 2.0 fmc set between the macbook pro and my DAC and I did not like the result. Crystal clear and extremely detailed but took away the richness. Fullness and bass were reduced. Sounded too crisp and hollow for lack of better woods. Will be returning the set. Just wanted to share that I guess you can get a little too much of a good thing. Rendu down the road is probably in play but really do like the way it sounds now.
