The Logic Off Topic list

Hello, Iam a newbie to the MAC world and to Logic. I was 
wondering if anyone could steer my in the right direction for a good 
soundcard to use with my MAC G5. I'm willing to spend about $500-$800 
for a nice soundcard.

     I was looking at the MOTU 828 series, but I've heard that it has 
a lot of bugs in it. I want a good MDID interface along with SMTPE 
and audio in and out. Any info is appreciated.
