Hi people!, I just bought my first receiver (yamaha rx-v475) and a 5.0 set of infinity speakers (p363/PC351/p153).
The idea is connect the receiver to my main PC, who has 2 screens (monitor + TV).
So i've noticed the lack of multichannel analogic connection in this kind of receivers, and basically my options are HDMI via VGA (gtx680) or S/PDIF via sound card (asus Xonar DX)
The main use of the system is movies, then gaming and finally a diary touch of music.
What should i do then? I'm getting the same sound quality in both ways?
Will i lose some performance via hdmi, or surround sound or something in gaming? because the xonar has Dolby Digital Live (also Dolby Pro-Logic IIx, Dolby Headphone, Dolby Virtual Speaker)
The receiver has Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Also, if i use HDMI, my beloved Xonar becomes useless? I really like the xonar software, i can leave my headphones connected to the PC front panel and switch via soft without plugging and unplugging anything.
Thanks in advance!
