I'm looking to hook up a HTPC and am considering sound hardware.
I have a denon avr-1909 AV receiver which can decode trueHD and DTS-HD MA, now how can I output HD audio from a pc?
I've seen the Asus Xonar which can output HD audio codecs, but at £180 it seems excessive for such a simple need, is there not a card that can simply output PCM high def over optical or something?
Considering the cost of a blu ray player, HD sound card and rest of htpc components it seems a lot cheaper to simply buy a ps3.
