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… ---
