Thinking of using an M-Audio card with Virtual Audio Cable to convert
surround sound to PCM spdif.
The idea is to use something like the Audiophile 2496 to get an analog 4
channel output. Feed this into the 4 inputs, sample at 24/96 and use
Virtual Cable to route one pair of signals to the M-Audio spdif o/p, and
the other to the mobo soundchip (Realtek) spdif o/p.
Any opinions?
Anyone try anything like this?
I also need an end-to-end of better than 105dB s/n

Dirk, this seems to be roundabout. It should not require an A/D-D/A; it
should stay all digital. Take a look at

That might work.
However, I have BluRay to contend with as well (with PowerDVD as the PC
s/w).
This is a bolt-on to an existing multimedia system so I have a number of
constraints. One of them being PowerDVD, but the other being ZoomPlayer
for the DVD rips.
