| help need: PC external Audio Recording card / headphone amp card with xlr mic input
I need an external sound card, and it needs to have these features:
XLR microphone input (for my shure 55s)
High quality Headphone output/amp 24bit dac+ (to power my Sennheiser hd 650's)
I prefer usb, but fire wire can be an option
Will be running on a windows 7/8 pc, 32bit for now, 64 bit in the future
Purpose for the card: Gaming, Music, Movies, Chatting with friends. I will not really being doing any recording with it other then Voice chatting online; Thus I value having the best Headphone signal possible over anything else, but it still needs an xlr input.
Budget: I'd like to stay in the $120ish range, but may consider up to $200. And I am talking ebay/used prices; feel free to suggest higher priced hardware, I may find a deal on it online.
I thought I could get something like an Avid Mbox 2 or even a Line 6 tone port to do this, but i really don't need to pay for extra recording software i'm not gonna use, I just need solid driver support... which Avid seems flaky with once a product gets a little older... Am i wrong?
any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
