try to use firewire- also port powered. FW (not for you but also Expresscard/ PCI) interfaces are faster and a lot more independent from your computer as host.
USB causes a lot more CPU load and is better for MIDI.

Echo FW:

Best AD/DA in class, in my opinion.

btw:
FW is no plug & play!
The cool thing about techno still, comparing it to most jazz is the improvisation coupled with raw energy.
