I've been out of the loop for a while and am looking for help upgrading at least my desktop HTPC sound card. Right now I'm thinking a soundcard with solid optical out would be most beneficial to my setup. I'd like it to be able to send at least 5.1 to my receiver for movies/games, and have the ability to also connect it to a higher quality DAC. USB would be nice so I could use it with my laptop too, but primarily I'm looking for a desktop solution so PCI is fine too. Speakers are currently run though my low/mid range Onkyo receiver, serious listening is done through my HD580's. I have a MobilePre hooked up to my receiver via analog (stereo) as my temporary solution.
