I prefer outboard audio processors like the one you mentioned.  The 
RF/EMI environment inside a computer case is a nightmare, making 
pristine audio reproduction extremely difficult if not impossible.  I 
suppose if you enclosed a PCI card within a Faraday cage, that could 
help, but I've never seen that done.

I use two outboard audio boxes:  an Onkyo SE-U55 and a Digidesign Mbox. 
  Both are USB (nothing wrong with USB, there's plenty of bandwidth 
there and provisions for isochronous data) and both give excellent 
sound, with the edge going to the Mbox.

Other people have said that the iMic device is good.  I needed/wanted 
better.
