Great news :)
If I understand well (my English knowledge is not so good, and my electroni=
c=20
one is even worse) , you are thinking that Envy24HT-S is similar by design=
=20
with the Envy24MT ? The only thing to do is to find the wiring between the=
=20
envy chip and the codec chip ? This can be done with a ohmmeter.

I don't understand exactly what do you call "reference design", but the=20
Chaintech and Onkyo board doesn't look very similar to me.

=46or now, I do not have a SE-90. I will not spend 110=E2=82=AC in an audio=
 card if=20
there aren't good chance for it to be supported by my OS of choice.
On the other hand, if you tell me that this card could to be supported "for=
=20
almost sure", I could buy it.
