I'm looking for a 4 channel souncard to use with Traktor (so number of inputs is not really an issue) and my Apple Powerbook (so have 6-pin powered Firewire bus). I want something that requires no external powersupply and is preferably firewire or PCMCIA (so that I have USB ports spare for external harddisks etc.) and have basically narrowed it down to these two:
1) Echo Indigo DJ (PCMCIA)

2) M-Audio Firewire

I can't decide between them, though - I like the compactness of the Echo Indigo DJ, but am perhaps worried its not robust enough for DJing, I've also heard it can be difficult to setup. Does anyone have any experience of either or both of these two soundcards and Traktor? Thanks
