Better quality alternative to Echo Indigo for headphone use?

I have an echo Indigo I/O that I use when it's not practical to drag all of my equipment with me.

While it's on a different planet from standard laptop sound, I was wondering if there was a better quality alternative. This card has received rave reviews, but I'm not too impressed by the sound.

Have you worked with a rock/alternative band? tell me.

Since I come from mainly an r&b/hip hop recording background I'd like to know what the process is of recording a rock or alternative group/band.. ? What's a typical session like? Which instruments are recorded first? Typically inthe sessions I assist in I see the producer sit down at an MPC and a keyboard with various sound modules and get a tune going.
