I am going to get the m-audiophile 192 and...

[ESPplayer7]

i see it has not xlr inputs, is there a way for a mic to get hooked up to this card?

Yes, you could get an XLR to 1/4' converter, or just get a mic that plugs in via 1/4'

Ideally, you'll want to get an external preamp, or a small mixer with built-in preamps to boost your signal before going into the soundcard.

Erm, not 'ideally', 'necessarily'. You need a preamp for each mic you connect. Look at a Yamaha MG10/2 for a little mixer, or an M-Audio DMP-3 or JoeMeek ThreeQ for standalone pres.

Not if the inputs on the Audiophile are line inputs!
