I gave up on internal sound cards. My last one was the Asus Phoebus. Lost driver support after 4 years. <Screw Asus> MoBo Sound is just as good, save your money and get a Good DAC.
Ordered an Atom from JDS' website in spite of a 3-day back-order on 1/15. Arrived today after a Holiday weekend. Stuck my 9028 SMSL M8A behind it. I am now clearing all this other crap that doesn't measure up off my desk.
'Cause, Damn.
