RME-Audio has some great sound cards for surround
sound. Depending upon the number of channels and the type of audio
interface you are interested in RME-Audio probably has something
for you. Currently the firewire audio interfaces are the big thing.
Firewire gives you a lot of audio data bandwidth in a single cable.
The PCI card systems are great as well.

+4dBV TRS connectors but can also accept -10dBV as well. These converters

system that comes with eight TRS inputs and eight TRS outputs, an
ADAT lightpipe (8 channels), and a S/PDIF port. If you need more
channels then purchase more Mulitfaces.
