M-Audio Audiophile Pre USB or Firewire *or* E-Mu 1820?

OK guys...it was suggested in another topic for a new Interface
to look into an M-Audio Audiophile Pre USB for my computer.

What about an Audiophile Firewire?

And what about the E-Mu 1820 or 1820m?
Ever since I saw one of these, I've become rather enamored of it...

Now remember...these are just for V-O...no music recording and no simultaneous I/O...

Question about M-Audio Audiophile USB sound interface...

Ok, this may seem really really dumb, but the usb port on the back of the unit is for connection to your computer. right? so that the sound can be recorded on your computer thru that? or what. I'm getting confused. because...if its an all-in-one sound interface...you dont need another pci sound card with 1/4' i/o to connect it to the audiophile to record sound from whereever right?
