    I won't work with your E1705 as your E1705 has only an expresscard slot. The Echo Indigo card is a PCMCIA cart and won't fit in the newer expresscard slots. There currently exist no expresscard soundcards on the market. Your best bet is to try something via USB as there are issues (search for thread here on NBR) with firewire soundcards and Dell notebooks.

    I own a M-Audio Transit. I'd classify it as a "semi-pro" card. It is certainly adequate for all of my mobile sound needs. The Echo Indigo card is a professional card and unless you specifically need a professional card for recording, the Transit will be more than adequate for music playback.
