15k to drop

i've given up on building a studio with my "business partner" and am going it alone, which changes things for me alot. now i'm limited to less funds, but i have the freedom spend them however i want. so far i have a 002r, an imac g4, atc scm 50asl monitors, some cheap real world reference monitors, a revolution redd 47 pre, and an SM57. i've decided with the 15k i have, i should get:

I/O options.

I have an FW-1884 and from all of the horrible reviews about how bad it sounds. I'm now starting to wonder if it is even worth it to upgrade to nicer mic preamps.

Here is my question. .if I were to run the 4 API pres and 4 AMEK pres that I'm building through a decent converter and into the ADAT in. will the FW1884's converters affect the high quality incoming signal?
