I´ve just bought a HTPC with Zoltrix Pro6 soundcard.

Could someone tell me if I can hook this up directly to a 5 channel amplifier and use

the HTPC as a preamp?


I´ve been thinking that Powerdvd XP 4.0 would decode the DD, DTS and DPL II sound or?

Yes you could. Looking at the back of the card and assuming your amp takes RCA in, you would need 3 of these:


1/8" stereo headphone to 2 RCA mono plugs

Fine...


I was worried some that there might be any problems and possibly

some damage on spekares/amplifier.


Thanks for the info..

That isn't as much of an issue with analog connections I believe. A few warnings though:


-Windows startup sound! Watch for it

-Some soundcards "pop" when the computer turns on. This pop could turn into a boom with big amps and speakers.


Best way to handle it is to leave your amps off until you are ready to actually play something.
