I'm not sure about the Asus sound card. It would need to have an optical output and the ability to process the virtual surround first then output it via optical.
I know you can do it with the Sound Blaster Omni (or Z) because that's what I do. You use the optical out into the Optical Modi (not the USB one). But I tried that and I couldn't hear any difference in the DAC so I returned the Modi. Once I upgraded to the Audio-GD, though, there was a noticeable improvement in the DAC.
Yeah the one that i plan on buying does have an optical out but i had forgotten the name (just found it). I just figured it would sound better with a modi since the sound card (Asus Xonar DGX) is about $37 on amazon. Btw creative sound cards don't have dolby headphone do they? (That's why i chose the asus one)
