The echo laya 3g 8-channel PCI looks better and has mic inputs with preamps, but I can get a separate 4 channel mic pre-amp for $80 to go with the Audiotrak Maya 1010 giving it more analog inputs and more pre amped mic inputs. The audiotrak maya is a few hundred dollars cheaper, but I don't want to sacrafice price for quality if the Audiotrak isn't comparable. Does anyone know if the difference between the two as far as quality and latency?
