New DAI purchase question

Hi,
I'm upgrading some components - would be interested in thoughts on a new AI. I have my eye on the Mackie Onyx 400f and 1200f's: good preamps, 96khz capability (I won't use 192), headphone / control room monitoring & enough I/O for my needs. However it only comes in Firewire and I'd prefer PCIe if possible.

Any recommendations on something similar only with PCIe?

recording guitar amps direct

my friend and I got in an argument about whether recording guitars direct is a good idea. He thinks that its better to use a mic and crank the volume on his cab than using a direct box with his amp (he thinks a lot of distortion comes from overdriving the speakers of the cab). I keep telling him that it doesn't matter, but I need some backup :)

jamming with headphones daisy chaining mixers how? HELP!

Hi,

i live in an apt in new york city and can't disturb my neighbors.. I play drums but at home I use an electronic drum kit and have been practicing with my friends using headphones to monitor ourselves and we'd record sessions into my computer using the rca tape outs. I have only been playing with one musician at a time so a dual headphone splitter worked fine until now.
