Buying new soundcard or new controller?

[MintyCondition]

I have very bad distortion on my headphone output in my vestax spin. So I was thinking about using the controller and buying a new sound card (please reccomend me one) which I can use later on. Or just buy a new controller for under 400.

the best cheep little sound card is the E-box 44 usb....4 RCA inputs, with phono/line pre-amps ( so you can plug in 2 turntables or 2 C.D players and run a open DVS using time code vinyl / C.Ds )

4 RCA outputs ...with little blue led's for each inputs & outputs ,

headphono and microphone jacks on the front with level knobs for both

comes with ASIO drives for windows ...core audio for mac

sounds good for a cheep sound card ...tested on mixvibes cross software with time code vinyl on i-mac and my p.c

I'v got one here you can have..only 7 weeks...do for $100

What do people think of the TRAKTOR AUDIO 2?

or UCA222 BEHRINGER EXTERNAL SOUND CARD?

Behringer sux.

NI audio cards are safe.

BUT:

Are you sure the buzz in your headphones is the soundcard and not the headphones? Try a different pair and if that helps you saved heaps.

If it is the soundcard I would always choose to keep the number of units I use to a minimum to keep setup/connection distortion to a minimum. So I would go for a new unit with internal soundcard.

However Wazza knows what he's talking about an if he's offering a deal it's prob ok.
