I'm in the market for a home theater system, going to change everything, from the ground up. I want to do it piece by piece, but with a plan. My friend is recommending getting an HTPC or building one instead of a Blu-Ray player... I watch a lot of video on the internet, MKVs and stuff, so it makes more sense. I stream flac from the internet...
HTPC's are totally new to me.. How does it work with the audio? I don't want to buy a $200 box with poor integrated sound. I'm used to having a home theater system with a dvd/blu-ray player... and a PC with a regular sound-card... but this is something totally different... it's low-power and probably not the best audio...
What's the best way to set this up?
