Laventura Gunslinger Registered: 05/21/06 Posts: 195 Loc: Montr�al,PQ	Hi folks ! I have yet another pre-delivery question... (according to ups I get my goods tomorow)... oh yeah!!! So here it goes... Is there any benefit...or drawback... to feed the 7.1 analog inputs on my 1070 with the 7.1 analog outputs from my computer ? It is the only discreet outputs I have for now since my dvd player doesn't have them... Thanks for your input... _________________________ Outlaw 1070-Mirage M-290(main)+MCC(center)+Omnisat Micro(sides) nanosat(back)+ +PS12-90(sub)-Technics SL-5 turtable+Cambridge Audio 540P-HTPC - SamsungDTB-H260F HDTV tuner - Optoma HD 20 +100' Draper screen -lots of spaghetti and toys

The DAC's in your sound card are not likely to be as good as the DAC's in the 1070 (in fact, that's pretty much a sure thing), and the sound card's DSP section is going to be the same way. Unless your computer's sound card will decode DVD-Audio and/or SACD, the best bet is for a digital output from the computer. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93
