Karura Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 ... is your video card. When combined with an AV receiver, the current generation of video cards, both ATI and Nvidia, offer HDMI 1.4a support, allowing your video card to digitally output lossless 192 kHz quality to your AV receiver (Dolby TrueHD and all that jazz.) Could this possibly be the solution to building a decent computer listening rig, when noisy internal sound cards that everyone has been shying away from have proved to be incompetent? The only problem I see with this is that most DACs and stereo receivers do not accept HDMI input, which raises the question, are there any components out there that can effectively utilize this? Or more specifically, can headphone listening benefit from this discovery? Has anyone else looked into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Using an external card will still have benefits over using a video card. I've actually looked into this a fair amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
