I'm looking to get into HTPC but I do not know a lot about them.
my main question is whether HTPC's are able to send clean unadulterated video signals to my projector. It occurs to me that the computer dvd players would output a degraded signal, for example the cables that connect the dvd players to the mobo would be subject to a lot of interference surely? Even then don't video cards only have composite or s-video out cable jacks? Hardly good for preserving a video signal compared to component jacks.
So how can HTPC users output a clean video signal?
Similarly, do computer soundcards that output the sound to my receiver, is the audio signal kept clean and crisp throughout its travels in my pc?
thanks
