Hi guys.

Im planing on getting a better sound card for my laptop. I´ve had my eyes on the Echo Audio Indigo for a while now and was wondering if anyone has any experience of it. Especially regarding audio quality, ease of use and latency.

Or if anyone knows of a better/cheaper card I´d be interested to hear that as well.


Thanks in advance.

i personally have no experience, but on the http://www.ableton.com forum, lots of people show their happiness about this card. go and check over there for user comments... a search will bring up lots of hits.

It's a good card... no advanced features but it does what it does well - clean, low latency audio i/o (config depends on which model you get) when you don't want want to use extra power adapters etc. One thing I noticed is that the converters seem to have exceptionally low noise.

Best card money can buy is the rme multiface or the rme digiface, when it comes to laptop music.
It`s not cheap, but worth the price:

- or find a Noah while you still can

asi noah seems to suck dicks, tryed it once on a dell pentium m. gonna give this another shot i'm sure but this thing does not compare to the fireface at all

Yeah for some weird reason Creamware chose USB for the Noah - this is not at all good for serious low latency audio.

I have the Echo Indigo i/o. It sounds great and has low latency. The only problem with these cards is they have had a lot of defective cards. I had to send it back twice for a replacement. This was a year ago so they probably fixed it by now. If you need to return it then send it to Echo Audio because they will fully test it before sending the new one. The drawback is that it will take much longer to get the replacement.
