Hey, it does have fiber optic outputs on it. I'm not sure about all of the technical analog stuff, but the onboard sound is the best I've ever heard, better than Audigy's and certainly better than Soundblaster Live!'s. I just think paying that much for a soundcard is useless when your onboard sound is that good. Of course, my current Soundblaster Live! is keeping me perfectly happy, so it's just icing to me.
This is from Abit's site:

I can't argue with the facts.
*EDIT* I noticed I said infrared before (instead of fiber optic). Sorry.
