I am in the process of upgrading my HTPC.
I am considering buying a BD-rom to enable me to watch BD's.
How would the quality of this compare to a standalone DB player?
I know the latest ATI and probably Nvidia GPU's can bitstream BD audio formats unmanipulated though to the AVR for decoding. I believe this can happen without the use of a fancy soundcard.
Would other other audio feeds like avi's, mkv's, mp3's the multi channel sound tracks from games also be outputted via HDMI without a separate soundcard?
