But they do. I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS in my Media Center
PC and that has spdif output. It's an electronic output rather than
optical (which is a bit annoying since my amp has optical inputs so
I needed a converter), but in the end it's just digital data so it
makes no difference to the quality.
On another note, I'm wondering what has happened with multi-channel
sound - my home cinema amp is 6.1, but the only movies I have out of
a collection of nearly 400 that have a 6.1 soundtrack (all the rest
are 5.1 or less) are The Lord of the Rings extended editions.
I went to buy a replacement when DVD playback started going wrong,
but all the systems available now seem to be 5.1
It seems like the move to 6.1 and 7.1 just never happened.
