Hi all,

I am considering buying a new motherboard which will have integrated onboard audio as i'm sure every board does nowadays. I am just wondering how best to connect it up to an AV receiver system i currently have (Denon AVR 1306 system with 5.1 speakers)

would it be best to connect using the single digital S/PDIF or using the normal audio jacks (3x connections for Center/Subwoofer, Front left/right and back left/right)?


Which should give better quality sound? are there any limitations with either when playing things like Blu-ray discs as well or with different types of audio encoding methods?

thanks
