I use an ASUS X2 Sonar PCI soundcard. That has 7.1 analog outs into my amp for DolbyHD and DTS MA / HD over analog. The playback software is used to decode the format (PowerDVD) to the external outs.

Cost around £120 at the time (last year) but it sounds great and on par with my standalone Toshiba HD A1 HD DVD player via its analog outs.

I don't use the digital outs / ins, but they're there if you need 'em.
