My first deal posting. I found this on Newegg a couple days ago and quickly ordered one. I've never seen one an Envy HT card for this price. Rebate-free makes this even better. Free shipping too.

It does matter if you want 96/24 support. The The 24PT can do it, although the drivers don't support kernel streaming or ASIO so all the sound gets passed through the kmixer.In theory, it doesn't matter which sound card you pick for digital out, as long as it's got S/PDIF ports. In practice, some sound chipsets mess with the digital stream for no apparent reason. IIRC the Via chipset is one of the safe ones.
