How to connect an Essence STX II sound card to passive speakers?

[Sugetsu]

Hello, I would like to know how I can connect my sound card to a 5.1 surround sound speaker system, but I do not want to use a receiver as I wish to take full advantage of my card's DAC. The speakers that I have are the Energy Take 5.1.

I have been looking for amps but I can't seems to find anything that could work with a 5.1 system.

Thank you in advance

The asus stx can't do this .... It's a 2.1 output.

You need an external 5.1 dac or change your soundcard

Sir, I have 2 sound cards in my system: HT Omega claro 2 and the stx 2, all of them are currently hooked to a receiver and proving Dolby Digital 5.1. The energy take 5.1 are connected to my receiver.

The STX 2 also comes with daughter board capable of analog 7.1.

Now that that's out of the way, I want to get back on topic. Is there an amp that can drive 5.1 and that I can connect to my sound card?
