I used to use a M-Audio Fast Track USB for recording only, but about 2 years ago I started using it (for about a year) for Dj purposes, the quality is pretty good, and the price isn't too high.

I was in a similar situation as you a few months ago and I did a lot of research and the NI sound cards all were ranked the best.
So I got the Audio 4 :)
you could hook up an audio2 to a mixer
yup. 2 channels into an external if you want.
The original U46DJ DID have pre-amps. I use one for DJ Decks with Serato Vinyl. Keep an eye out on ebay for a u46DJ.
A lot of software has built-in pre-amps, so the U46XL should be fine...
I'd much rather have real pre amps than software. I mean it's probably all fine and dandy, but it just seems wrong... :P
Why the hell doesn't any of the NI cards have an actual switch to change from line to phono like all the other sound cards? Only thing I dislike about my little audio 4.
I was in your shoes and I had to find a good 2 ch soundcard. had a M-Audio FastTrack Pro, for me it was very noisy. had a PreSonus FireBox, it died within 2 weeks. got a Native Instruments Audio2DJ, couldn't be happier. Its loud and clean and simple. Did a head to head with an Rane SL1 and an ESI-Gigaport, and I thought my sound blew both of them out of the water. +1, there is a reason everyone loves their A2DJ.
