what audio chip should I look for?

None, get a usb-audio interface, they start cheap (creative) and go to pro
stuff (digidesign, m-audio, motu) so plenty of choice. Or get one with a
digital out and an outboard DAC.


thanks for the advise
in between I was busy searching. because maybe the multimedia OS or the
fanless CPU system does not support the USB audio interface. I wonder if
this digital out + outboard DAC would save me money because I'm saving some
Euro on the board/audio interface and invest in a new digital amplifier -
unfortunately my two old sony amps live forever...
bud coming back to the research. The via VT1617a seems to be the best choice
http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/audio/codecs/

(others are the alc250 or alc203
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/p....aspx?lineid=5) board
http://www.logicpd.com/eps/sbc/amd/geode_nx/ is much to expensive compared
to the via epia...

Unfortuntaly the SP board is 160 EURO more expensive than the cheapest via
epia 5000

so maybe the abit usb theater ua10 will be given a try - its only 55 euro.
