Installed as an upgrade to onboard sound; I use analog outs to three Denon pre-main amps for 5.1 sound.

This card is aimed for critical music listeners, and for the price, I haven't heard better. Couple of issues: no output from headphone jack in Linux, no connectors for front panel jacks.

Uses snd_ice1724 modules; installs with no difficulty.
