![]() These systems are often based on FPGA type chips that offer the ability to "download" the newest and greatest codec. While this is mostly in the commerical sector, it is growing in the consumer market too. I have seen several systems now that are implementing more and more of the decoding in software vs. I'm waiting until I get a DVD player that takes pure DVI in.Ī bit rambling, I guess the bottom line is I'm looking for the same thing. Most home theater systems have the amps built in, which I wouldn't want to use (not sure if they would drive the electrostatics).Įventually, I want to get a DVD player, but my PC has DVI out, and the projector has DVI in. I've been looking at DIY'ing some Electrostatic speakers, so I'd be looking for a solid state or tube amp to drive those, I'd want just the digital decoder and possibly pre-amp. The SoundBlaster Audigy looks good, but again I don't like the idea of audio leaving the PC, just digital. I don't know if any 'real' 5.1 decders are available in the PC, although it does have SPDIF out the PC environment is so noisy electrically, I really would prefer to move the digital sound out of it to a seperate decoder. Currently, I'm using my old Technics SA-500 to drive the speakers, from my Sound Blaster Live! (NOT Value) and my DVD player in my PC. I've got the same issues - we're going 'backwards' in our Home Theater, we got a Hitachi LCOS video projector for Christmas. ![]()
