Maybe I am sending Hoontech a mail and ask them.

DiO 244824 Bit/48 kHz PCI Digital I/O Card
The DiO 2448 PCI Digital I/O Card combines Coaxial and Optical digital I/O
with stereo analog outputs at a remarkably low price. It's perfect for
interfacing to S/PDIF-capable equipment such as DAT machines, MiniDisc
recorders, dedicated audio converters, and more. In addition, the built-in
D/A converter provides analog audio output for monitoring incoming digital
audio. Plug your CD-ROM or CD-R to the internal analog or digital connector,
and use the DiO 2448 as your Windows Sound System card.
Features:
� 2-in, 2-out 24-bit/48kHz full-duplex PCI audio interface.
� S/PDIF inputs and outputs on coaxial (gold-plated RCA) and optical
(TOSlink) jacks.
� Stereo analog output on gold-plated RCA jacks (consumer signal levels).
� On-board headers accept analog audio from internal CD-ROM players.
� On-board header accepts digital audio from internal CD-ROM players.
� D/A converter may be used to monitor digital input or output.
� Digital input may be bypassed directly to digital output (�audio thru�
mode).
� Supports 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates.
� Windows 95/98 drivers.
Minimum System Requirements:
� Windows 95 or Windows 98
� Pentium 200 Mhz
� 32 MB of RAM
� UDMA EIDE or SCSI hard disk recommended

Easier, yes.

Can anybody confirm this too?
