Hello everyone,
 
I am new to this sub-section of the Head-fi forums but I hope I am not pissing anyone off by starting a help thread.
 
I am revising my setup a little and while I love my external DAC for serious listening, I just want a sound card to use with a small mizer I have to take my laptop audio and game audio and mix them together.
 
What I am looking for:
  1. 2 Ch or 5.1 Ch
  2. Real clocks (not just a single clock, but one for 44.1 based rates and one for 48 based rates)
  3. If it has a coaxial out (not toslink) that would be nice too.
  4. No LEDs would be preferred but not a deal breaker.
 
My build has these slots available:
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode) *3
4 x PCIe 2.0 x1 *4
 
I want to use this card only for gaming so latency is important too, does anyone know of a card that would fit the bill?
