[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 543888, member: 17032"] There's external soundcards from Creative as well. Obviously, the internal soundcard's would be the best, but since you can't do that on an iMac, external it is. It also depends on the quality of the external soundcard. I don't know about this Echo soundcard, it may be good or may be crap. I don't think the USB/Firewire matters too much in this case, but it won't sound any better via USB. However, the iMac does have an optical out port, so if you have a Dolby digital/DTS receiver, it can transmit that without any signal loss. [/QUOTE]
