You mean like this? Only $50 (US) from Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102016)

Cheaper (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829118103) one

quite a few have them on here. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000057&Description=SPDIF&name=Sound+Cards) Also Newegg.

Canadian Store and a cheap card (http://www.cancomputer.com/index.php?sku=1216). It has a funky 2 PCI slot usage though.

I was having problems opening the actual links, but have you looked here (http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProdList&cmd=pl&id=SC)? Looks like they might have one. Also located in Canada.


As far as what is actually better I will leave that to people more knowledgeable then me or your own decision. I use my onboard audio with a cheap sound card so I can use the analog for my DVD drive. Never heard the difference between the two. Just thought I would post some links to help out, assuming you didn't already find one.

Good Luck and hope this helps.
