help need: PC external Audio Recording card / headphone amp card with xlr mic input
I need an external sound card, and it needs to have these features:
XLR microphone input (for my shure 55s)
High quality Headphone output/amp 24bit dac+ (to power my Sennheiser hd 650's)
I prefer usb, but fire wire can be an option
Will be running on a windows 7/8 pc, 32bit for now, 64 bit in the future
Purpose for the card: Gaming, Music, Movies, Chatting with friends. I will not really being doing any recording with it other then Voice chatting online; Thus I value having the best Headphone signal possible over anything else, but it still needs an xlr input.
Budget: I'd like to stay in the $120ish range, but may consider up to $200. And I am talking ebay/used prices; feel free to suggest higher priced hardware, I may find a deal on it online.
I thought I could get something like an Avid Mbox 2 or even a Line 6 tone port to do this, but i really don't need to pay for extra recording software i'm not gonna use, I just need solid driver support... which Avid seems flaky with once a product gets a little older... Am i wrong?
any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

presonus audiobox usb, good build quality, really good sound, cheap, and won't need to upgrade unless you're taking music production seriously and need more inputs for $160, but try waiting for holiday sales if you're looking for cheaper

Sounds like you're looking for a Creative E-Mu 0404 USB

+1 for Presonus.
I bought a Firebox a few years ago, works great!
Not sure if it's been replaced by the 'Audio Box' or not, but here's the one I bought:
