USB sound card with 6.3mm (1/4") headphone jack?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I was all set to get an extigy because I thought it would have the same connectivity as my desktop's audigy platinum, but it has no 6.3mm jacks and those are the most well used part of my audigy.

What I'm looking for is a usb / firewire / pcmcia sound card that can do 5.1 analogue (3x 3.5mm jacks), has a spdif input (any type of connection) and a stereo 6.3mm output for headphones. A 6.3mm input would also be nice for my guitar but it's not essential as I do most of that with my desktop. Basically something like the extigy but with the 6.3mm output, I'm not bothered whether it requires mains power but I dont want to pay much more than I was prepared to for the extigy.

Using an adapter is a possibility but my concern is that 3.5mm jacks dont have anything like the durability of 6.3 when they're getting tugged around.

I'm open to suggestions, and thanks for any help.

This isn't out yet and not sure if the jacks are 6.3 but you may want to check:

Edit: After checking the airhead manual, it looks to me like it will be a mini jack, not the 6.3

Only 1/8inch jacks on that one. I really haven't seen any USB audio devices with 1/4inch jacks. Your best bet is professional FireWire recording devices.

Don't know if you can get 5.1 out tho
