For the link lazy, I'm looking to replace my Diamond monster mx300 (one of the speaker ports died)
i was hoping to get a card with digital audio, but apparently i will only get 4 speaker digital output on my speakers (cambridge fps2000 digital) if i use some sort of SB Live card. since the SB's are well out of my pricerange, i'm between an Aopen Cobra and a Chaintech AV-512. both use the same sound processor.
the Aopen has DON (im guessing this is digital out), whereas the chaintech doesn't. if i can't get 4 speaker digital out though, then the DON on the aopen is moot.
thanks
