USB sound card for recording

Question

Audio

The task is simple - you need to record audio tracks (just a voice).
Recommend an external sound card with minimal noise for recording. You can even pair it with a microphone ;)
And it is also very desirable to have drivers for Linux.

Answer 1

Creative E-MU 0404 USB - cool DAC and ADC. friends with alsa. There are microphone inputs.

Answer 2

In principle, you can take something from M-Audio - Audiophile USB, FastTrack, FastTrack Pro.
Or look for Creative Extigy.
Here the red-eyed people are tricking something with Linux:
