Actually I wonder how much difference can there be by separating the DAC from the electric noise,
and are you connecting to the DAC by optical connection?
Do we need a "decent" sound card to output that optical signal, if that's the case?

一般人指extetnal dac係指usb或firewire connecion
大部分係指雙聲道
小部分解埋5.1

Actually much cheaper than X-Fi

Something like this:

is more than enough.

Yes I'm connecting my external DAC with optical. My laptop has SPDIF and optical output.

If you are only passing through digital signal to your external DAC, you don't really need a good sound card at all, since its function is just passing through signals.

If we are talking about proprietary surround sound encoding like DTS-HD/Dolby TrueHD then it is very tricky and expensive to get certified external DAC.
