Mixer/Soundcard

[Chris G]

Hi, I am currently using a MacBook to play mp3 files which is connected from out of the headphone socket to my Numark cd decks.
I am looking to improve sound quality.
What are my options regarding this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maya 44 and the Numark IO are popular choices. I have used the numark for a couple of years and found it "acceptable"

Yes I now the Maya is better, but in my very very humble opinion, the IO is way more than acceptable. It's also very easy to set up.

I use a Native Instruments Audio 2 DJ with a macbook and have been very happy with it.

How do you use separate channels with that?

You can't? Surely?

That is why I am asking...

Well I'm guessing it involves front/rear, but it's only a guess.

After getting advice from this forum I purchased a Numark DJIO to play via my laptop through my mixer. It sounds so much better than using the laptop jack plug and I am really pleased with it. I did have to get a ground loop isolator device to stop background humming from the laptop but that only cost a few pounds and stopped the humming instantly.
