Check out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829271001&cm_re=7.1_sound_card-_-29-271-001-_-Product which I am using and am loving. Their software has great flexibility and you have several connection options. You can find reviews for the Asus products on the Newegg site too. BTW they are a great vendor!

Asking same thing under new thread is rhetorical.
