Two things to be aware of with the Chaintech AV710:

1. It has S/PDIF output (optical) but **no** S/PDIF
input (the bits come out, but they don't go in).

2. If you do the firmware flash so you can use
the Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 ASIO, etc., drivers to get
bit-perfect S/PDIF output, you lose analog output.
So they say.

The Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 (there were a few of
them on eBay recently) has (coaxial) S/PDIF output
**and** input, and comes, of course, with the
Prodigy firmware and drivers so you don't need to
perform a firmware flash (and lose analog out).
It does cost about $60 more than the Chaintech,
however, and for that money you might look for a
(discounted) X-Fi or E-MU 1212M.
