I need to plug Two RCAs (in+out) into my PC. I`m using Soundblaster Live! Platinum, and I want to replace it with something like MAudio 2496. But i`m considering also something like Behringer FCA202 wich has all PL 1/4" connectors (or maybe a more expansive maudio card)

Should i stick to cards with RCA or there is a good with no lose way to go from PL to RCA?

I would go with something with 1/4" connectors instead of RCA because in my experience 1/4" are stronger connections. You can always use a 1/4" to RCA adapter. If you have RCA jacks, you can also use an adaptar but these tend to hang on the jack because of the weight. Most synt gear uses 1/4".

RCAs are used in places where the connections are not intended to have may insert/removal cycles, like on consumer-grade stereo equipment.
