Can anyone recommend a pci-e sound card with optical out?

I'm after one for my windows 7 mc.

At the moment, I'm just using the onboard one, so it is just stereo out ot the receiver and th receiver is on pro logic. pita to change it to stereo every time I want to listen to mp3s.

Does your motherboard have a s/pdif header?
I've got two machines with Realtek based onboard sound that have worked ok through the spdif out pins, and one based on Soundmax that failed miserably.
