Hi,
I am currently building a Hi-Fi sound system (real high fidelity, not $120 complete system hifi) and i was wondering what soundcards on the market these days would be best for an input to my system. I have a pioneer amp with digital optical and coaxial inputs, and rc connector jacks. But i am really looking for the best sound qulity that i can get, my amp has a THD of about 0.05% so i dont want to waste that with a crappy input...
any suggestions would be great, thanks. (ps, im in australia and have a budget of about $100USD for the card.

thanks

From what you posted, it sounds like you deffinetly should get a sound card with optical output, since thats the best you can use if you want to hook your PC up to a stero system.

Depending on your price range, here are a few cards:

The last one is the X-Fi Platinum, which I think would be on of the best.
