    personnaly, I made a little mixer box using only two operationnel 
amplifier that allow me to mix 2 line-level signal with separate volume 
control and an output to my headphone. I use this on my computer and the 
ound
quality of the mixer is excellent. But, I will point that near all sound card 
have VERY POOR audio sound quality, especially Sound bastard, all of them 
makes a lot of noise, as much as my tape teck.. So you relly don't need 
audiphile quality for amplifiers..
