Like the title says i want a piece of hardware so i am able to monitor ableton ie it has at least 2 separate outputs . Somethin along the lines of the audiophile firewire except one tha works on USB.

DMX 6Fire, others out there. I assume you're talking about an external USB audio interface? I run a pair of M-Audio BX8a's I recently got (and hooked to 2 PC's via 1/4" and XLR (had to get special 3.55mm/1/8" to Male XLRs) via my Omni Studio on one PC and regular 1/8" output on the other. Just have to get your levels between the two similar ;-)

Now I'll also be able to run to my Laptop via the cable off the one PC with the 1/8" cable so I can hear it better than the Conexant HD and Altec Lansing onboard speakers (HP Pavilion Intel Core 2 Duo 17" WS laptop).
