I am hoping that someone knows simething about this sound card. It seems very reasonably priced at £27

Does this card have 5.1 channel out and if so is it DTS as well as Dolby Digital? Does it have coaxial/optical out or both.

Thanks

Conor

Its fine, it has a digital mini jack out. You need a mono RCA to mini jack converter and a standard 75ohm digital coax cable.

So it can not be used with an optical in on an amp?

No it can't, you can get coax - optical coverters but they cost about £70.
