I have had great success with the M-Audio Delta series of PCI cards, I know that's not what you asked about but if you have a PCI slot I would urge you to consider them, they come from 2 to 8 analog balanced I/O's most have S/PDIF also.
The Echo Cards are well liked amongst the DAW community, though I cannot speak to thier Linux compatability or use with RD. Nathaniel C.
