mfk Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I use my simple Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Audio card to drive a Creative Digital IO module, which in turn is connected to my receiver via spdif cable, so my computer drives my receiver, which drives two Heresy II's. So for the a small dollar amount I turned my computer into what I always really wanted it to be, a digital media storage unit. I also have a Linux machine (Fedora Core 4) running samba that acts as an extra 1.25 TB of storage. Using the vlc media player I can broadcast class d into as many rooms in the house as I want. A couple of other rooms have computers with ProMedia 4.2 systems. The bottle neck seems to be with my receiver, a Yamaha RX-V661, which can handle 24 bits @ 48.1 Khz, the sound card can broadcast at up to 96 khz. The way I look at it is that I have a digital storage cabinet for both movies and music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
