Q:  I am looking to purchase a soundcard for my computer. The output will go
    to my stereo receiver which has a 7.1 decoder. I am looking for a
    soundcard that will transmit the full audio signal (all channels) to the 
    receiver for decoding. Which of your soundcards will suit my needs?

A:  Each of our cards will output a digital signal to your decoder. 
    The Santa Cruz connects via mini-plug (1/8 inch stereo to dual RCA cable) 
    The Riviera and Catalina both use an optical output.

    Non-Dolby Digital/DTS data will be in 2 channel stereo unless your 
    receiver has the ability to mirror the signal to all speakers 
    (Dolby Pro Logic).
