Default Best, but cost effective, sound card for a music server

I'm putting all of my CD's (~800) on a PC that currently has onboard
sound. I want to come out of this to my receiver and use the PC as a
music server. However, it seems to me that the quality would be
better with a dedicated sound card. Now, all I'm gonna do is listen
to music on this, no fancy mixing or anything. Would something like
the Audigy SE do it? Or should I find a solution with optical out?
Is it worth it?
