I don't know how much this has been hashed over here, but...
I have an Aureal Vortex 2 card, an OEM version, which has a wonderful
optical out. I use it all the time with my MZ-R50 without any problems at
all.
According to Aureal's website, www.a3d.com, the Vortex cards have a coax
output, which probably refers to the boxed card. If you can find an OEM
one with an optical out though, you'll be happy!
As for quality, I've found the Vortex 2 to be an outstanding card, I
certainly have no complaints!
