5.1 or 7.1 Audio Interface?

[Hy Bound]

Ok, so i've been looking around for some time now for a good, studio-quality audio interface that supports 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound. All I've been able to find are things for gaming or massive, expensive mixing desks with surround-capable interfaces, but nothing in the sub-2 grand range. Anyone know of any good ones?

I've never tried it, but I'm pretty sure as long as you have multiple outs and a DAW that supports surround mixing you can route the outs to the corosopding speaker. The Presonus FP-10 or varients are pretty damn cheap and has 8 outs (enough for 7.1) for $400.
