The hiFace Evo, via the 2.0 USB port, allows the use of any desktop PC, notebook or net book, meant as data source independently from the sound card in use. Thanks to its drivers, it can transfer this digital signal in asynchronous mode, up to 192 kHz with resolutions from 16 to 32 bits depending on the output you intend to utilize. If you really want a PCI-E sound card, there is the RME HDSPe AES, but that is expensive. You might find that things like Asus Xonar and other commodity PC sound cards have Coaxial outputs, and are cheap - but they may not have ASIO drivers. To be honest, you are better off saving your money for a better DAC that accepts input via USB. Review M2Tech hiFace USB DAC listening test. Woo Audio WA8 Eclipse.
