Essence ST+H6, Creative ZXR, or Essence STX ?
Hi mchart, does the ability to decode DDP or DTSHD when playing via MPC or VLC depend on the specific sound card, or will any 7.1 capable card be able to decode either of them properly and in their full glory?- ChinaJay

Essence ST+H6, Creative ZXR, or Essence STX ?

Essence ST+H6, Creative ZXR, or Essence STX ?
I am a semi-noob to the HTPC type setup and am trying to decide on a sound card for my new system. I am hoping those of you more experienced in this area can help.
