Title: No 7.1/5.1 Sound Through S/PDIF
Product review: This is indubitably a nice sound card, but does not offer much of an improvement vis-a-vis on-board sound of a decent quality. The installation on Win7 is 'complex' (to use a more acceptable synonim for 'nightmare') and Diamond's tech support is pure manure (both online and via telephone). Most importantly: if you are buying this card to listen to your music files in simulated 7.1/5.1 by connecting it via the optical (S/PDIF) out to your receiver - STOP! The optical only offers 2.1 out. The documentation sheets are misleading, and tech support is less than knowledgable (to say the least...)
