The MZ-N707 seems to be a mini-disk player/recorder that connects to a
computer via a USB port. It doesn't seem to be a soundcard at all.
The Soundblaster MP3+ looks like an 'entry level' USB soundcard/home audio
connection.
I doubt that the MZ-N707 would work with linrad, and the MP3+ is
16-bit/48kHz max, not the 24-bit/96kHz (claimed) of the more expensive
models.
I have no experience with either of these devices so am just going by what
I found on the net.

Probably a typo, the N707 has line, mic, and optical inputs; headphone
output; dc in; and USB data ports.
