I've got a Asus Xonar in my computer at the moment. It is very ordinary if you are used to a Creative X-FI.
I've just found an Auzentech Meridian so I'm going to replace the Asus with that card. The optical output from the Meridian is awesome. Sadly, the only way to get a Meridian card these days is to watch E-bay.
