 New Dios are 24/96 http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/dio2496.php
 ...and they have an optical connect. {Whether it's supported or not...}

 Audiophiles seem to have dropped in price a bit:

 {I'm sure you can find them both at a much lower price and I doubt you
 can fault the sound.}

 Terratecs cards use the same chip, are supported, etc...

 It looks like the Mia's gotten support {Major + for linux sound}. Great
 sound... Mia's been discontinued... you can still find them pretty easy.

 You might check into the whole line.

 On another hand. The motherboard I'm using comes with spdif in and out,
 an ac97 codec, 6 channel sound, built in midi, firewire and USB2 {and
 smartcards, lan, raid, largish bus, etc}. Sound is excellent, setup is
 automatic under both Debian and RH9, it runs about $125-150 and the
 machine took me about 45 minutes to build. It's only 16 bit though.

 Turtle beach has some cheapish cards and they had absolutely flat response
 1o years ago. http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/products/santacruz/producthome.asp
 {I'm not sure what your budget looks like.} I have a Santa Cruz... It's
 supported under alsa {with hardware mixing} It sounds really good... It's only
 16 bit.

 You might be able to find a cheapish Yamaha somewhere... It looks like most of
 them are supported.
