The built-in one on your mboard is fine if you use spdif to send the 
signal to an offboard amp.
(Improving the soundcard provides no benefit in this case as the signal 
never leaves the digital domain so the component quality/isolation etc 
doesn't affect the sound quality)

My motherboard has the VIA 82xx (which uses the snd_via82xx module)
