Phew, glad I couldn't decide on a mainboard, and waited. (from the other thread, it seems I should wait a bit more for a mainboard, so I might as well hold the purchase of a soundcard )

It's been rumoured that it will be bundled with VIA's KT800 chipset

LOL

[The PIT]

But you'll need the Via 9.52 4 in 1 special addition to get rid of the freezes, clicks and pops plus a bios upgrade from the motherboard manufactuer.
Alternatively you can watch you data fry.

The main thing that interests me concerning this card is DVD-Audio playback and a lack of AC97 compliance. Whether or not I'll be getting it shall be determined on the sound, not the features...

I've already got an SACD changer, so adding DVD-Audio via the computer would be absolutely perfect...
