Well, if you're using optical or coax, I highly recommend a C-Media 8738 or 8768 based card and Dogberts bitperfect drivers .


It's cheap, it works, and it doesn't alter the sound in any way. What goes in, is what comes out.

 

[ps24eva]

I can't use optical or coax for blu-ray audio right?



I don't understand why you recommended that

I'm sorry, I missed your second post about it being for blu-ray lossless.

If you're looking for high quality multichannel analog out I would suggest something like the Auzentech X-plosions 7.1 cinema soundcard. I don't have this sound card but it appears to be geared for home theater and it has socketted op-amps for all the output channels so you could switch them out to customize your sound more.
