Right now I'm using this <<UK>> The AVLAND DPC Digital USB to Optical PC Link
to convert a usb to an optical to go to my modded zero.

I'm starting to think with my upcoming Millet Minimax build this convert is become the weak link in my system. If I use the coax out on my mobo its very noisey.

I'm thinking of getting a sound card with recognized respectable digital out.
But what I'm thinking of over that was something like the musliand 1 usd
2009 MUSILAND Monitor 01 USD HI-FI Mini USB sound card - eBay (item 120466069932 end time Jan-31-10 23:23:54 PST) or similar since it would be easily transportable if I'm away from my computer

Or maybe something DIY that functions like the 01 USD?

USB to SPDIF? Any sound card with coaxial out should work, and there are 30 USD cards with coax out.

Which ones have a clean output and drivers that work with vista 64 and soon windows 7 64bit?

I would suggest S/pdif with an optical connection.-if your DAC has that input.
Just look aroudn there are many cheap cards that have Digital outputs.
