I'll bet your right about the Orion, if my Jupiter is any sign of what 
can be done.  The neat thing about the TT soundcard is that you don't 
have to fuss with cables (the bane of all of us.)  It plugs into the 
accessory jack and a usb port.  If I had seen that before I had build up 
my stack of cables, that would have been the way to go.
