Toslink card without all the other BS?
Firstly, sorry for blasting you all with my posts today. I promise I will get out of here after this question :)
I need a simple PCI/PCIe Toslink card for a DAC I will be purchasing. I am running Windows 7 for an OS. I don't need anything with converters built in (i.e. a soundcard). Any suggestions?
Also, is there a difference between S/PDIF and Toslink with respect to sound quality? I already have an ASUS STX card which has S/PDF out but some things I read say that Toslink is the way to go.
I am all about making changes only when they make sense from a audible gain versus $ standpoint. Stay with the ASUS S/PDIF out or go with another option? I welcome your viewpoints on what I should do.
Thanks for your time and expertise,
jason
