So I was looking at getting a soundcard for my computer to replace the onboard sound, but then someone suggested I might be better off with a USB sound interface.
 
I currently have active monitors connected to a small mixer, which accepts analog inputs from my computer as well as from a turntable. But if I'm not overlooking anything, then it looks like this box could both serve as a soundcard upgrade as well as a replacement for my mixer:

It has analog inputs on the back, which could take the turntable input. And supposedly the USB interface should give me better sound than my motherboard's onboard sound.
 
Thoughts?

It looks like you could be right.  I would ask on kvr or gearslutz instead or something.

You might need a phono pre-amp or to buy an interface with one built in.
 
Depends on whether your turntable has one built in or if you are using one already in the mixer?
