Which do you guys think will be a better transport choice? I've narrowed it down to the two because I want something with a breakout box, and I want something that can output DD and DTS over coax or optical. I am wondering which will be the better transport (I will be using an zhalou or other dac in the future over optical most likely), and which will just be the better card overall with a nicer interface? Does anybody know if the 410 is compatiable in Linux? I also am leaning towards the 410 because I might get a macbook this summer, and it would be an excellent piece of equipment to throw in my bag for trips and stuff like that.
Oh, and my speakers are 5.1 (z-5500) and they have digital output, and regular 3.5mm 1/8" outputs (3 of them, orange black and green.) On the firewire 410 there is 4 unbalanced 1/4" jacks, can I use an adapter to make them into 1/8" and hook my speakers up and get full analogue 5.1?
