How much do you want to spend? Is stereo in/out enough for you? I would suggest getting at least dual stereo out so you could at least consider Traktor type DJing with 2 outputs.

Afraid I would quite know what to recommend though. Most people seem to suggest Eidirol UA-25 (USB) and Echo Indigo (CardBuss II) but just looking at their specs and they're both just sereo in/out, no dual stereo out.

EMU 0404 might be suitable for you and reasonably priced. 4in/4out (although only appears to have 2 standard analogue in/outs) and a headphone output. You would have to make sure the headphone output is assignable and not a duplicate of the main output but could be worth looking at...

ud be better off getting a hercules rmx, the vestax vci's arent actually that good, because the jog wheels are dodgy and the pictch thing isnt long enough, then again i havnt actually used a hercules rmx... but i am getting one so ill let you know if its any good. also u dont need a sound card for ahercules rmx because it has one built in, unlike the vestax.
