New member Username: Jerkstore43Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | Making my first receiver purchase. Just got my media center PC yesterday. Plan on using Paradigm CT 90 speaker setup and eventually buying the 60" SXRD HDTV from Sony (just have a good old 36" tube right now.). I've been looking at the HK AVR 635 and 645. 645 has (or will have when released...)HDMI switching, but the 635 is half the price! Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

It states this in the ASUS specification: Realtek ALC850, 8-ch High-Definition Audio CODEC Jack Sensing and Enumeration S/PDIF out interface What do you think? |
