‎With linux, use approved cards. It isn't like the manufacturers embrace Linux. The programmers/maintainers work with what they are given.

I don't have the system running at the moment, but I have used multiple Diamond multimedia PCI sound cards for a sigint project.

From the Arch Linux wiki (as an example)

"PulseAudio serves as a proxy to sound applications using existing kernel sound components like ALSA or OSS. Since ALSA is included in Arch Linux by default, the most common deployment scenarios include PulseAudio with ALSA.

Must your DAC be portable? USB or something else (internal maybe)? High sample rates? Record or just playback? Record multichannel? Etc.
