You realize this is outputs only? No inputs at all.

It would be a try it and see. In general though, most internal interfaces
are already pretty good sound wise and a lot offer 7.1 sound. What are you
expecting this card to do for you that an internal card would not? Are you
doing digital crossovers? (The only thing I can think of for so many
outputs)

The D4 looks completely different in function and I would also point out
that the supplied drivers for the D4 include OSX as well as Win but the
8/16 is win only. Doesn't sound like the same driver works for both.
