pcmcia cards for under $150?

hey guys. im getting a new 3880, and being the musician that i am, i was looking into a cardbus soundcard, like the audigy 2zs, to up the sound quality a bit. its on newegg for 85 bucks plus a 20 dollar rebate, but i was wondering what else was out there in terms of cheapish sound cards. this would be strictly for listening, i do not do any editing (my guitar rig isnt good enough to make it worth my while, and my keyboard is back home), so this is purely a sound quality issue. i listen through headphones, and i have a 3.8mm->RCA adapter to let me plug into my stereo, so all i need is a headphone jack, though a built in RCA solution would be nice. my ABSOLUTE top budget is 150 dollars.

is there anything else i should be looking at other than the zs?

I have used the Echo Audio Indigo IO for about 2 years now.

It is excellent. If all you need is playback, just get the Echo standard. Thge IO offers a stero input so you can record.

My main usuage has been audio monitoring of my VSTs in cubase and reason and the card has functioned flawlessly. Best of all, sounds great. You won't regret getting one and the audio out only version retails for 99.99.

Man, that sux. I guess you could try ebay or craigslist. They pop up once ina while of craigslist. They may be used, but they will be a lot cheaper. YOu may want t call your local guitar center. Sometimes they have old new stock or unsold units.
