I've seen thunder fx refered to as an external sound card.
1. Does it augment or replace the functionality of supreme fx?
2. One of the features of supreme fx was that supposedly it had a large capacitor to drive headphones. Does this matter if you are using thunder fx? Isn't that feature redundant ?
