Any idea on price?

..and doesn't the internal card version come with free (reasonably decent) Sennheiser headphones to sweeten the deal/soften the blow?

No that is the Xense.

This will be one for me when i get my new motherboard then

Not clear whether this has the same features as the internal card or is just a dac.

If it does I'd definitely consider it.

This is a nice product but it still doesn't do much more, if anything, than an internal PCIE board.
