Ive found DH1 to be a sweetspot for all round use on my DX, watched transformers 2 blu ray last night on the pc, tried DH3, and it did sound a bit echoey, went back to DH1.

I'm thinking of getting a D2X for my HTPC/gaming PC (also connecting to an Onkyo receiver). Are you guys connecting via HDMI, or analog?
If i 'do' just decide to use HDMI, will i still get proper multi-channel sound even if the game/source material isn't DTS/DD etc?
I recall having issues with my old receiver because I was connecting via Optical out, i'd only get multi channel sound if the source material was bitstreamed. If it was a game, i'd only get stereo

Yes, you will get multi channel sound. HDMI can use multi PCM, unlike SPDIF, which requires Dolby/DTS to use multi channel.
Edit: They are expensive cards though, the HDAV range. Does your AV receiver have Dolby TrueHD etc? and do you have 7.1 speakers?
