Audio Mixer

Will using a audio mixer increase sound quality?
I have a Lexicon Lambda interface and im not sure if buying a mixer would be smart. Will using a mixer increase my sound quality? Am I able to use it with the lambda or will I fry something?
Ok so even if you buy a digital desk with better quality mic pre amps and better quality analogue to digital conversion , the sound quality will be reduced when transferring from the mixer to the pc through the analogue inputs of the Lambada. Its a pity it doesnt have a digital input . So in theory no a mixer will only introduce more noise to the signal path. However you may buy a mixer with higher functionality , so that it might allow you to introduce a compressor / noise gate to the signal before recording which will improve quality somewhat. I would not reccomend this however as you should record all signals as dry (uneffected) as possible as you cannot undo fx added at this stage. and as always more processing means more noise.
