I just looked long for a suitable receiver for me.
Requirements:
- 7.1 System
-. HDMI with at least 3x HDMI (not necessary upscaling) in
- AC3 and DTS Decoder
- Multichannel LPCM over HDMI with 192kHz / 24bit
Since I wanted to connect a HTPC via HDMI, it was not necessary for the support with a 1080p scaler and TrueHD / DTS-HD, which takes over all the PC and costs otherwise just waste money.
It was important that the picture and sound from the PC will be delivered via HDMI to the receiver and is processed at least the tone here (DTS and AC3 stream, anything in 7.1 LPCM). Picture must only be looped through as always 1080p applied and already everything "hochgrechnet" from PC.
The setting was a little tricky, because ATI HDMI and some A / V receiver (this one among others) do not work really well together. A little trick with a modified driver lets ATI receiver but recognize as HDMI device and everything runs smoothly.
Have at the moment a Canton connected CX60 5.1 system and will probably expand this soon on 7.1.
Strong buy recommendation !!!
