I never used USB as an audio interface. I might be imagining things, but when I listen to a mix in Pro Tools, it sounds a bit flatter; that is, background instruments don't seem to jump out as clear or they seem buried more in the mix.

Or (as I said), am I imagining things?

Compared to what? How were you monitoring before? Headphones? From a different interface?

The DM1000 is over 18 years old. The D-A converters are probably way behind what more modern interfaces can offer.
