Folks my journey of exploration is about to reach a fruitful end. I had been hunting for a suitable AVR and speaker set to attach with my PC so that I can finally experience nirvana.
I had shortlisted Yamaha 667 and Denon 1911 but finally decided to go with the 667 as the sound quality is more or less the same and I got the 667 for comparatively lesser price than the 1911. For speakers I have more or less made up my mind to go with Pioneer SP-PK21BS- i have read great reviews about these speakers. I know its a dangerous thing to go in for speakers without auditioning but I dont think I wd be disappointed.
Now quite a few of you have managed to educate me regarding feasibility of attaching an AVR with PC and have suggested that I invest in a GPU with hdmi output for audio connection and I would like to ask you for recommendations for the same. Should I buy a DAC or should I invest in a GPU?
I don't really wanna invest a lot because my budget is already stretched because of my super brave decision to invest in AVR and speakers .. I remember when i first came here on this forum I was just looking for a 5.1 speaker system to attach with my comp and had given myself a budget of 10k... which has known gone on to around 75k within a month's time thanks to temptation !! Pheww...life can be so exciting !!
Btw my mobo is Gigabyte G41MT-S2P.
So this goes out to all you learned ones- please help me out!!
Thanks Guys !!
