IM looking for a soundcard that has the ability to connect to my Pioneer SX-315 Reciever. The reciver has a digital optical in, coaxial dvd/dvr, coaxial STB inputs. Thanks for your help.


Is this what I need http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102190

What you need is a system that can encode to either Dolby Digital or DTS. You can get a card that can do this, like the Mystique or X-plosion, or get an external encoder, like the Creative DTS-610. This allows you to connect the 5.1 analog outputs of any soundcard to it and makes it a single DTS 5.1 signal either over coax or optical.
