I have an E-MU 0404 PCI right now, and I am growing tired of it. I really dislike the drivers and patchmix, and the fact that it will only automatically switch between certain sample rates (44.1 and 48 are OK, but when I play a song in 96 it freaks out and makes me manually change it)

All I need is optical output and optical input. That's really it. I use an external DAC so whatever analog outputs it has do not matter, as long as the optical out is trustworthy. The drivers must be able to change from 44.1 to 96 khz automatically, and be decent in themselves as well. Anyone know a card like this for a decent price? Mainly I have no idea how the drivers are on many cards, so I don't want to pull the trigger on one just because it has the in/outs I need...
