[ripken204]

hey, im looking for a new receiver, nothing crazy tho. ~300$
now im wondering if i can find one with dts 24/192 b/c i wna connect my digital soundcard to it which encodes to dts 24/192.

also, whats the difference between an av receiver and an am/fm stereo receiver?

You could go with something like the Onkyo TX-SR504 for $235 including shipping:

It's a very nice entry-level receiver, I have an earlier model.

the dacs for that are 24/192, not the optical. but i was looking at that one earlier. anything special about that one that makes it good?

Nothing really special, although 3 component inputs is fairly uncommon at that price.

A Home Theater AV receiver is generally 5.1/6.1/or 7.1 channels, while a stereo receiver is 2 channels. These days, the vast majority of "AM/FM" receivers are multi-channel, 'cause that's what most people are buying.

A multi-channel receiver can play in stereo or even mono.
