choosing a sound-card for GOOD output-only purposes
Hi everyone!
I am trying to setup my new linux system in a way that I will be happy with it when it comes to (de)encoding and playing .ogg files.
I wish to buy a sound-card to which I can attach good-quality speakers, like the ones I have my hi-fi connected to. I do not intend to use it for sound input at all or any other function besides this one; but I need it to allow the speakers to faithfully reproduce the content of my .ogg files.
Can you offer any recommendation(s)?
A question I am really curious about is whether all current sound cards working under Linux output sound equally well, and just differ in their input-processing / game-playing capabilities / etc, or they are also different in what concerns output-quality.
Thank you for your hindsight,
Joane Lispton

Hi!
Creative Ensoniq ES1371 is the one I use and I can strongly recommend.. it has very good sound, unhearable noise, really nice basses and linux kernel supports it well. (but there are some problems with multiprocessor kernels, this is not my case). Is relatively cheap.
Regards,
Petr
