Need a 2-or-4 channel interface for Tascam 424mkiii

[thefanbelow]

I need a interface that I can record from my 424 on to that will then let me mix it into my computer.

It needs to have enough gain to drive my 57 without hiss and preferably will have phantom power.

Budget is around $300.

Desired sounds are similar to Iron & Wine, Elliott Smith, etc

I called guitarcenter just for basic recs and they gave me Presonus and Focusrite Saffire Pro

Also, does anyone know why I am hearing significant hiss when recording without dbx on? I thought hiss was commonplace but there is a ton of it and I don't like the sound when dbx is on. Is it possible that it is due to turning my trim all the way to the right on the channel recording my 57 (because maybe the onboard pre can't drive it without all that hiss and I need a interface)? FWIW, I was recording with normal bias tapes (waiting for my high bias in the mail)

Thanks.

I think that's the problem.
