Hi and thanks for the reply. I have tried USB and it works as well. Right now I have spdif outputs from my MB's built in HDA sound card.

I wanted two audio outputs, one 2.0 and one 5.1 and all I could figure out was doing this with the two converters. I would like to do the 2.0 with the MB sound card if I can figure that out.

I think I could do it with the 990 using the zone 2 outputs. I would have to leave it on all the time so my wife would not have to fool with it to watch Tv and it draws 40 watts. The Technics draws about 8 if I remember correctly. I had it lying around so it turned out to be a good solution.

Again, I would like to get the MB's sound card to do the 2.0 so I would not have to leave anything on.
