Hi Mates,
This is my 1st post on this forum. Spare me if i dont write according to the protocol !
1st i ll explain what all i have - as it's relevant
1. Laptop with HDMI
2. LCD with 2 HDMI in
Want to buy 5.1 set - up...
Option 1
Buy Onkyo 3400 for 25k, connect my laptop to amp, amp to LCD and watch movies
Option 2
Buy USB to 5.1 converter, connect Logitech ( or any other ) 5.1 system ( which costs around 5k ) and watch movies
If we analyse, there is a cost difference of 19K ( which is huge ), i know sound quality would drop but i ASSUME not to extremes.
My questions are -
1. Can option 2 give me decent 5.1 sound ? ( Source .mkv movies thru laptop )
2. Which usb to 5.1 converter to buy ?
3. Any other option ?
Thanks a lot...
Waiting for expert advice
