I have a whole house audio system and my 6 zone/6 source amp just went out. I want to simplify the setup (and save $$$).
I want to use 3 separate receivers (it will be 3 zone, 1 source). The only input with be from my Windows Media Center PC which has Optical and RCA out (I want to get rid of my 6 zone/source Distribution Amp as it is analog only and I only use 1 source). Preferably I would like to use the optical out of the PC for quality reasons. My question is do I need to get some kind of splitter to split it into 3 or can I use some kind of OUT on one of the receivers? If I can use an OUT on a receiver, does the receiver have to be on for the OUT to work?
I am looking to get 2 lower end Denon, Yamaha or Onkyo receivers (I already have 1 Denon) for this purpose.
