I had been looking around a while back for a good audio motherboard

and Gigabyte seemed to pop up quite a bit in terms of good SNR and other

specs for onboard sound.
As for offboard/adapter card, did you look at the M-Audio offerings?
Your PSU can make a difference in terms of noise and interference,

a lot of the ones your get with pre-built machines are crud. Get a

good one (heuristic: heavier ones are better for the same price, wattage,

etc.--big transformer, caps, heath sinks, and so on). The higher end

ones come with good shielding on cables.
