Hi jip

I can personally recommend the M-Audio Firewire Audiophile.. you are right you will need to power it as you have 4pin firewire but it is great unit.

4 mono RCA outs (two stereo)
SPDIF in/out
switchable a/b headphone monitoring

rock solid little unit, good quality and great for DJing or playing live

I ain't good enough to spend £100's on my hobby... (Double )

And it doesn't look crap, you meany.

Aww, I'm sorry

I wish I had an extra soundcard I could send you. I guess I assumed that if you could afford a laptop, you could afford a nice soundcard but I know that isn't always the case.

Seriously, I'd save my pennies and put up with the internal card for now if you can. You might be able to snatch an old echo indigo (not the i/o or dj) for $100 on ebay. That won't get you multiple outs but it gets you really good latency and sound quality.

Then again I've never used the little usb thing I called crappy. Maybe it's good, I just don't see how it could be considering the price.

The reason I'm banging on about this is I thought it could supply 2 outs and 1 in - which is what I'm after as I want to incorporate scratching in my live sets. If this offers that for £30 - I'm laughing. Otherwise I've got to spend a small fortune on an external card that gives plenty of ins n' outs...
