Best sound card for a DJ

[wx3]

Hi,
I was wondering what would be the best sound card to use to simply output hi quailty audio into a mackie 1202 mixer to play over a p.a. system? I'm looking at the echo mia because I like that it has 2 1/4 I/o's but is there anything else that has decent outputs, even some sort of soundblaster would suffice if it could be easily connected into the board. We've been using just a regular sb live card but it only has a 1/8" output which means you have to use all sorts of adapters and that = loss in audio quailty.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks.

It ain't the adapters that are causing the loss in audio quality!

When you get the Mia - which is as good a choice as any - you'll find out just how bad the sb live was...
