Reasonably inexpensive soundcard with bit-perfect COAX output?

[FallenAngel]

Just as the title says, I want coax output, preferably (although not likely with a pulse transformer). I will very likely mod it to BNC instead of RCA if necessary. I also DON'T want breakout cables, they're never 75ohm.

Is there anything out there that meets this VERY simple criteria?

I think you might find this just about right - Diamond XS7/XS71.

Here is a NewEgg link with info: Newegg.com - DIAMOND XtremeSound XS71 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards.

I haven't used it (I bought it to replace broken sound on wife's PC) but I specifically searched for a card that did bit-perfect as I wanted to steal it back once we replace that machine.

Somepeople said you had to down-load some hacked but reliable and trustworthy C-Media drivers (sorry, don't remeber the details) others said the latest drivers from Diamond also did bit-perfect.

At $25 bucks (I got mine for $15 with a rebate at my local Frys), it seems hard to go wrong.

I recommend the Siig Soundwave 7.1 PCI for this purpose. I got mine for $25 or so at Frys - here's an Amazon link for it:

Amazon.com: SIIG SoundWave 7.1 PCI - sound card ( IC-710012 ): Electronics

There are open-source drivers that you can get it for it that support bit-perfect playback (and work well, I have to say), from here:

Yay, I just read this, after I bought the EMU0404 PCI that I intend to mod with BNC connector.
