Creative Soundblaster Extigy users wanted

Hi everyone,
I am thinking of buying a used Creative Soundblaster Extigy external (USB) soundcard, for my dual core system.
I have read somewhere that the best soundcard solution is the Firewire one, then the PCI versions and the last solution you should go for is the USB version of a soundcard.
But that was in the time of good old USB 1.0 and 1.1.

Line-in hiss with SoundBlaster AWE64

I've begun to experience hiss when recording through the line-in with my SB AWE64. Is there any way I can prevent this hiss?

I go headphone-out from my minidisc recorder, through a preamp, into the sound card's line-in. When I just play the minidisc audio through the sound card's line-in, the sound is excellent, with minimal or zero hiss.
