The Xonar HDAV1.3 features Protected Audio Playback Systems (PAPS) and full Advanced Access Content System (AACS) certification. Without both certifications, typical PCs must down-sample Blu-ray audio to DVD quality (48K/16bit). By closely working with ArcSoft’s Total Media Theater, ASUS’ Xonar HDAV1.3 is capable of decoding Blu-ray movies and takes full advantage of lossless digital audio formats such as Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ for professional, high-fidelity sounds at 24bit, 96-192Khz. The PCI Express based Xonar HDAV1.3 is designed from the ground up for next generation home theater PCs (HTPC); and is equipped with the proprietary AV200 audio processor and HDMI1.3a certified Splendid HD video processor – making it capable of delivering the highest quality 7.1 channel 192K linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) audio and high definition video through the HDMI port.

This is quite a unique product designed specifically for the HTPC market, one that will enable HD video capability even for platforms that do not support it currently. HDMI in/out as well as two RCA audio and one coax outputs are provided. It is compatible with most VGA cards. Note: The Xonar does not replace the VGA card, but it does replace your sound card.

The Xonar HDAV1.3 Delux adds a HDAV H6 surround channel expansion card. The HDAV H6 offers 120dB S/N ratio, ultra-low 0.0004% distortion, and swappable opamps on each channel for user customization of sonic signature.

I'm still happy with my SoundBlaster Live!.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

It's the best you can get, unless you want some crazy USB sound card

Might have to get one so I can have HDMI audio from my PS3 while hooked up to my PC monitor.
