Hi,
I was searching for a good quality sound card with SPDIF input so that I can source audio from my TV (with SPDIF out) and provide 6 discrete good quality DACs for an active 3 way stereo speaker project. I am expecting quality than minidsp (ADAU1701 based ones).
Is this sound card Creative Sound Blaster Z SE good enough and a step above minidsp?
Thanks and Regards,

The question is whether the card controller can be clocked by the recovered clock of the SPDIF input. The user guide does not cover this at all. If yes - the capture and playback devices will run synchronously and any DSP will run OK. If not - the two sides of the chain will run asynchronously and adaptive resampling is required (as provided e.g. by camillaDSP).
