How to feed NFM's w/XLR inputs?

I have been dying for a set of Yamaha HS50M monitors now that I've finally heard a pair in a real world setup. My job takes me to customers homes and one of my customers is a musician who had a pretty nice recording station setup. I normally don't get sidetracked like this but when I seen them I had to ask for a demo. He played me some of his own recordings, as well as a few other songs I was actually familiar with and I was blown away. After the experience it was confirmed that I must have these speakers but I noticed they have XLR connectors on the back and was wondering how the hell I'd be able to run them on my setup.

 

My soundcard is an AudioTrak Prodigy HD2

So how can I run these monitors off that card?

 

Thanks in advance

Nevermind...figured out I'd have to run a USB interface, one with balanced outputs preferably. I decided on the Alesis iO2 Express. I know it's probably not the greatest interface out there but then again, the HS50M's aren't the greatest monitors either. And either way, i'm sure this setup would far outshine my current one.
