HTPC for both lossless stereo 2.0 and seperate HDMI 1.4a for 3d projection 7.1 sound
#1
Hi

Building a new HTPC.
Basically for the following->

a) In one room i have my newly aquired 3d jvc projector with marantz receiver and an 52" led tv , with 7.1 surround sound.

b) In the adjoining room i have my Classe amps with electrostatic speakers, turntable.

All my music in is Flac. for stereo i want lossless doing 192/24

HT i want great 7.1 sound with 1080p as well as 3D using hdmi 1.4a.


(I am a music person and my wife a movie.. hence the diversity).


How do i do this.

1. Cheaper processor (amd/intel g620) + basic asus mobo
with GTS450/ HD6670 card for hdmi 1.4a (7.1) (or any other you suggest) +
Xonair dx/ x-fi titanium/HTi omega striker

2. Great but expensive mobo like p8p67 (whose specs show loss less audio out) + GTS450/ HD6670 card for hdmi 1.4a

3. High end processor + highened mobo without the cards?


Please advice.
