I have Neumann KH120's in a small-mid room.
I have the regular Babyface(Ladyface). I am curious if there is a hearable(audible) audio quality difference between this, and the RME Fireface UCX II?
Thanks.
The Babyface is from 2011, this is 12 years ago. It's designed for mobile use and can be operated with bus power from USB2.
By this, you have some limitations like e.g., weaker headphone outputs, no FX section, ...
Feature wise, the UCX II is with no doubts the much better and more advanced unit.
I also regard it as very likely that the more recent converter of the UCX II will offer benefits sound wise.
But you should give it a try.
Alternatively, you could think about connecting one of the reference converters to your current setup
- ADI-2 DAC FS,
- ADI-2 Pro FS R BE
- or even an ADI-2/4 Pro SE
via ADAT / optical SPDIF.

and also from my blog articles:

The new ADI-2/4 Pro SE is not yet included in my overviews, but maybe you heard already about the differences.
See product page, manual.
