The Hoontech Yamaha XG with the DB1 bracket has optical and coax in and out,
and the cost for both is less than $70.

If you go to http://www.hoontech.com/product/soundcard/STdigitalNX.htm you
will find:
NX DB II 2 ports(I2S) in/out.
DAC boxes, Digital AMP, DI 2000, ST D.B III and ST Digital Audio can be
connected.
ST DB III S/PDIF IN/OUT (Coaxial,AES/EBU,Optical) NX DB II $79 US
At http://www.ridimultimedia.de/produkte/nx/index.html I could not find
these modules.

Ok, compared to the card, 79$ are a lot, but it is cheaper than the Midiman
Dio 2448 and I think the DIO 2448 is not supported by Linux. Do you know
another card with digital in/out cheaper than the 4DWave NX including the ST
DBIII module?

I have read that the Soundblaster cannot copy bit by bit.
