Hey all. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a great sound card to be used with my A/V reciever.
This is my HTPC as of now:
Do i need a dedicated sound card since it seems the GeForce GTX 470 has build in DTS 7.1? Or would it be best to get a dedicated sound card? And if so, these are really the only ones i can find that output 7.1 Coaxial or TOSLINK. (i rather have TOSLINK than Coaxial)
Creative PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series Sound Card
ASUS Xonar Essence STX Virtual 7.1 Channels PCI Express x1 Interface 124 dB SNR / Headphone AMP Card
ASUS Xonar D2X 7.1 Channels PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card
ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3
Auzen X-Fi HomeTheater HD (same as Sound Blaster X-Fi??)
?any more??
Thanks for you're time and help!
