Windows 10 hardware for SPDIF capture of raw AC-3/E-AC-3 bitstreams?

Is there any hardware that supports SPDIF capture of raw AC-3/E-AC-3 bitstreams in Windows 10?

i am not looking simply for a device that captures pcm audio over spdif. Any card can do that.

In order to capture SPDIF of raw AC-3/E-AC-3 it must support spdif capture when PCM_NONAUDIO and/or VALIDITY channel status bits are set.

so far, all tested devices mute input when either of these bits are set, therefore blocking non-pcm bitstream capture.

Confirmed not working:
Esi Audio U24 XL: NO
minidsp: NO
Creative Labs X-Fi: NO
