    PCI-E bit perfect card to use as transport

    I currently have a Creative X-fi xtrememusic that uses digital coax to output a bit perfect signal to my schiit bifrost.  It works great and I have enjoyed the card since about 2006.. however i'm looking to upgrade my box to SLI (dual graphics cards) which effectively blocks the PCI slot I use...

    Can't decide.

    zhaolu signal drops when RCA's are plugged in

    headFive or millet hybrid?

    so, im dont know which amp i want for my re-cabled 325i's. im currently using a zen touch with a pa2v2 (in the next few days to be upgraded to an x-fi xtreme music) anyway, i know the tubes are supposed to make a warmer sound and softens the harsh high's of the 325i's. but i also heard that...
