That's not the reason for using a better sound card. Indeed, NO 
transformers are needed if the equipment is properly bonded together. 
The reason for using a better sound card is for better A/D converters 
and a quieter signal chain, which results in MUCH better decoding of 
digital signals.

The SignalLink has several serious problems, and is NOT a good solution. 
Further, it's a single channel box. See the pdf link I posted for Jorge.
