Hi, my question is: can i use xone 42 with traktor without a soundcard?

No. You will need an audio interface that can output between two and four stereo channels. Also, you will need some sort of transport control, be it deck-style controllers like the Behringer CMD PL-1 (http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/CMD-PL-1.aspx) or something less traditional such as the Kontrol X1 (http://www.native-instruments.com/en...or-kontrol-x1/)

And what about xone 23c. Will I be able to use two channels in traktor?

nope... what you need is something like an Audio 2 from native instruments or a 2i4 focusrite, 2x4 presonus... wire the outs to the ins on the mixer

Well, you CAN use the sound interface of the xone:42 for traktor.
I aggregated the xone interface with my onboard sound card to one virtual sound device. The master signal goes out of the xone:42 and the monitor signal out of the headphone jack of my notebook.
BUT you can´t use the normal faders and eqs. The sound card of the xone:42 uses the mic-channel, so you only have the high/low knobs and the "fader" is the level knob.
Due to the lack of midi in the xone:42, I used a midi controller to eq, fade, etc internally in traktor. So the xone:42 was used (can only be used) as sound device.

Yes, you can use the Xone 23C without the need for an additional sound card - assuming you don't use timecode.

What? The 42 doesn't have an audio interface...
