quality sound cards with good linux support

Since my Auzentech XFI forte is doomed on linux according to most of the internet (if you have one and made it work then please  PLEASE tell me how ) I'm gonna need a new one. Onboard sound just doesn't cut it anymore for me.

What I'm looking for is a good quality sound card that works perfectly on linux and isn't too expensive.
I don't care about 5.1 or 7.1, I mostly use headphones so high quality stereo output is of most importance.
Are there any sound card manufacturers that have some love for linux?

How are the Asus Xonar cards. I've read good reviews about them but I know nothing about how they work on linux.

Re: quality sound cards with good linux support

I had an M-Audio Delta 1010lt once that had studio quality sound, linux support is good on the entire delta series.
