if you have a HTPC its a great way to enjoy full HD sound on a high end av amplifier at lower price than a mid-range av amp would cost
the 59TXi USB input supports 8 channel (or 6 channel + DPLIIx) PCM
limited to 48khz - but thats plenty
plug the 59TXi via USB into HTPC - select the Pioneer soundcard on the HTPC - and you're ready to go
