    What do you plan on doing with it? i.e. production, mixing with a controller, mixing with time code/DVS?

    For mixing with a controller, the audio 2 Dj is good. A little cheaper and adding a mic input the Numark DJ I/o worked nicely for me when I started.

    For DVS the Audio 6 or 8.

    For production I have no idea, but the DJTT blog did some sound card reviews a while back, try searching the blog articles.

    Numark DJIO is what i have, but now after two years i found it pretty limited...
    I found that the output is lower then CDJs outputs...
    Sometimes is hard to level your system right when playing out.

    I'm changing to echo audiofire4 as soon as I can.
    I need those MIDI in/out to make my iPad wired to my system...
    Also need that firewire connection for freeing up one USB at my macbook and for zero latency

    Also four outs (two stereo) for 2 decks external mixing and two ins (one stereo) for audio recording when using external mixing

    Just perfect for me...

    I have this, cant reccomend it enough...still gives the 4 rca outs for djing, plus midi connections and 2 line/instrument/mic inputs with brilliant sounding preamps, lovely little box for production and djing.

    Yeah i picked mine up almosy by mistake as it was bundled with my krks, definitely my favourite little travel interface.

    Rugged too, took a beating or two and not a scratch.
