Convenient Excellent Sound, If you ever use your laptop as a music listening source-- whether through head/ear-phones, hooked up to a stereo, or even through crappy desktop speakers, this soundcard makes a HUGE difference. For those who enjoy listening to music and like the convenience of being able to plug your laptop into a home stereo amp or receiver or use decent headphones, this product really is excellent and well worth it. It easily makes your music files sound as good or better than the output from a dedicated CD player, and is MUCH better than the output from an ipod or other portable mp3 player.
PCMCIA slot connection, This is a great gadget, but PCMCIA is not a common slot connection anymore. If you have a laptop with a PCMCIA slot, it can be a great deal, but most of the laptops are having the expresscard slot now, which makes you have to buy the adptor PCMCIA to expresscard, consequently double the final price of your purchase. I've bought a echo dj, but now it is useless without the adaptor.
Awesome :-), Firstly, don't be turned off seeing that very few people have rated this product. The truth is that, if you look around for a PCMCI audio card in audiophile sites and stores, you will see this product reviewed exceptionally well. The average Joe only goes for the commercial hype and don't know of any venerable professional audiophile products. Let me put one thing straight. If you decide to pay for this product, you better be having some good quality headphone (and i don't mean a Bose :-).. for all those who think Boss is any good..) like Grado, some higher end Sennhieser, Koss, Etymotics, Sure, etc. Because if you don't, you may be disappointed with this sound card. The analogy is if you have a bad eyesight and you are viewing a girl from 20 feet, it wouldn't matter if she got pimples on her face or not, you won't make any difference. On the other hand, if you have a good eyesight, you will notice the difference. Same goes here, if you sport a cheap headphone, don't waste your money on any high end audio gear. <<<<<< Sound Quality >>>>>>: The first thing you will notice when you play an mp3 is the well improved Bass, near pristine high ends. A few hours with the Indigo io and you'll hate to listen to anything without it.
Not so excellent, Although this item has received a lot of good reviews, I don't find any of its advantages compared with my T61 integrated sound card (SOUNDMAX). The possible reason is that it's a pretty old product and the integrated laptop sound cards sucked a few years ago. However, nowadays, the laoptop integrated sound card has made a good progress.
I only want to say that it's not worth today to spend more than $100 to get a PCMCIA sound card which isn't better than your internal one.

DJ Pauly, What an excellent product. It's intuitive, not too combersome and it really makes a difference in the way mobile PC sound plays into external audio equipment. I like the analog volume control, it's really easy to adjust the output level. Other cards have a GUI that is not as easy to use or locate on the fly. As far as the performance, it's definately the best I have used so far.
Analog volume control knob for headphone output.2 independent stereo 1/8" analog outputs.High quality headphone amp.Preview cue mix on the headphone output while playing back house mix on the line output.Supports true 24 bit, 96 kHz audio. Finally, a portable solution for the digital DJ. Indigo DJ offers two independent stereo 1/8 inch analog outputs; one for setting up your cue mix on a pair of headphones, and the other for the house mix. Each output features 24-bit/96kHz converters for the quality you deserve. Also included is a 6 foot audio cable for RCA or 1/4 inch connections. A unique feature of the Indigo DJ is the use of "virtual" outputs. Indigo DJ appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Indigo DJ's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Indigo DJ compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and a software synth) can be playing back through Indigo DJ at the same time.2 independent stereo 1/8" analog outputs*Preview cue mix on the headphone output while playing back house mix on the line outputHigh quality headphone ampAnalog volume control knob for headphone outputSupports true 24 bit, 96 kHz audioHigh quality digital to analog converters100 MHz 24 bit Motorola DSPPowered by your notebook computerIncludes 6 foot adapter cable for RCA and 1/4" connectionsType II Cardbus slot requiredSoftware console for metering and setting levelsSupports Windows Me/2000/XP and Macintosh OS X (Jaguar & Panther)Supports pro audio and DJ software (WDM Kernel Streaming, ASIO, GSIF, and CoreAudio)8 ...
