Well, that's got SPDIF input, but it's inside the case, not an external connector, and I've already got that -- in fact I think the integrated audio on my m/b is exactly the same as that stand-alone card! If I could think of an easy way to use that internal connector, I might do it, but what I really want is a TosLink or RCA or some kind of mini-jack to accept a digital feed from outside.
I'm not nearly so concerned about digital output, because my preferred modus operandi would be to burn the .WAV files to CD once I have them as I want them, and then play those back with my regular audio equipment. The point of this excercise is less to preserve perfectly what the recording engineer intended [though it would, hopefully, have that effect too], but to keep me from having to re-do his job. From that point of view I can live with analog output if I have to choose one or the other.
To put it another way, while most people have the litmus test of "can I play back a dtsCD in my CD-ROM drive, feed it through the digital out to my reciever, and get dts?", mine is more like "can I play a dtsCD or dtsLD on my LDP, pipe that into the box, record it as a .WAV, burn that to a CD, put that in my LDP again, run it to my reciever, and get dts?". That's the kind of thing I want.
Anybody know one?
