I have been looking for something that is external USB audio. I have
tried 4 or 5 and finally have something that works with no futzing
around, plus you can actually buy it :)
I am not a big fan of creative, but here it is: Creative X-FI HD.

No I don't work for them :)
Works out of the box in newest ubuntu. It has optical out (ie it is a
DAC), but I have yet to really test that (if someone has this device and
has optical working, let me know). The volume control on the unit
controls the master volume in gnome. Sound quality is great, and no
electrical interference from the motherboard (I have been trying to get
rid of buzzing from crappy onboard sound card).
Anyways, always looking for good linux-ready devices. Post 'em if you
know of something good out there.
