  What about sound quality? I have a Tascam 428 (I believe) that I 
  primarily use as a vehicle to get sound out of my PC. The quality isn't bad, 
  but when I use certain interface tools like Line6's GuitarPort or playback 
  reason files, the sound quality just seems a little off. I'm running my sound 
  through a Mackie Onyx mixer, an Alesis RA-type amp and a pair of Event Audio 
  studio monitors. The sound SHOULD be decent through such a rig but sound 
  quality I obtain using devices that go directly into the mixer (not PC 
  originated) seem to have much more clarity/depth/definition.
   
  If one is using a laptop with a PC-based looper and other plug-ins, how 
  is the sound quality compared to standalone hardware?

    am I to assume (in regards to looping) that the EDP always works flawlessly, 
    The RC 50 syncs well, the Boomerang is quiet enough, The Jam Man has enough 
    memory, Electrix answers email etc etc. Of course everyone has their 
    preferences, but speaking for myself, my Laptop rig is light years ahead of 
    anything I imagined 5 years ago. Steeper learning curve for sure, but the 
    payoffs or magnificent.
