the jacks on my motherboard have become worn over time so looking to get a new external card

I want to have balanced line inputs, and coax s pdif in (optical would be a bonus), and 1 mic pre-amp

what are the advantages of a firewire vs usb connection?
 
thanks

if money was no object (it is) what would be the best thing to buy?

I see you can get PCI cards with line level in, not sure if any have mic preamps tho

I'm still investigating but these are 100% zero latency?
 
that may have read wrong btw - money IS an object....just wondering what the best of the best would be.....

I was looking at the ESI cards... one has coax spdif but no headphone out, the other has headphone out but no coax spdif, neither have both

I know the thread title is external card...but I didn't realise you got proper line in/mic etc on PCI cards

could
