Default using a ext mic pre with mbox2 pro vrs 002 rack

I wondered if these two units handle using a ext mic pre the same. Near as I can tell, both units would need to connect an ext mic pre via their aux TRS line out jacks ( to bypass the mbox2pro/002). Is that correct?

Besides more I/O's does the 002 have better AD/DA than the mbox2pro? Also can't the 002 use a ext word clock up to 96kbs? (though I am not ready to buy ad/da yet) Just thought I would ask.
Anyone?

You would connect an analog preamp to the TRS line ins (not outs!) jack. You don't want to bypass the mbox2pro/002. You just want to bypass the mic pres on the digi interfaces.

The 002 and the MBox2Pro have different AD/DA converters. Not really better or worse, just different. You can use your ears to judge but both are pretty clean.

The 002 does not have a word clock connection.
