Echo Audio, Inc. offers 3 Type II Cardbus (PCMCIA) "Notebook Pro Audio" cards that work on both PC and Mac:

Street prices (at B&H in NYC): Echo Indigo ($129), Echo Indigo IO ($179) and Echo Indigo DJ ($179):

The reviews I've found have all been very favorable -- haven't yet found any negative reviews.
However . . . I haven't (yet) found a single comment or even a reference to these cards in the headfi forums.
I've got a Mac Titanium Powerbook G4 15.2" 1.25GHz laptop, which has a very convenient Type II Cardbus slot and the Echo Indigo cards seem to be "a good portable fit" -- but I'm not convinced they're worthwhile. AKG K501 is currently my phone of choice, but haven't settled on a (portable) headamp yet. (Maybe after the next NYC meet.)
I would appreciate some expert comments, based on personal experience.
