Best USB to Digital out adapter?

[olie777]

I have heard of the Turtle Beach Micro 2 but is there any other, better external sound cards? My PC does not have a Digital out so I cannot use Surround sound.
Thanks, Oliver

Can you not use the HD audio from the hdmi out port?

edit Theres an asus Xonar u1 which is 5.1, theres also a u3 for about half that price.

I'm sure there are many more I'm just not familiar with them.

Yeah, I would do that but my PS3 is already taking up my HDMI on my monitor :/
