Dear friends
This is my first post on this forum and I am really looking for some help. With great efforts I have been finally able to put together my 5.1 Home theatre though it may not be half as great as most of you guys out there. I have Yamaha RXV-361, Sanen towers, Sony Sub woofer and Polk Audio centre CS-10 and Polk Audio surround OWM-3. Now my Receiver is good though a bit old since it does not have HDMI input only SPDIF.
My AIM - I want to play 5.1 music through a source that can feed 5.1 to my Receiver. I have been looking at a large number of streamers such as PROBOX2 EX+ and Minix X8-H. They all have SPDIF out for sound as well as HDMI for video/audio. They even have a USB port to connect external HDD to play media from.
Now the big question - Can I play my 5.1 music or DVD video with 5.1 audio stored in HDD through these boxes where video goes to TV through HDMI and audio goes to Receiver through SPDIF.
Anyone who has actually used these streamers can throw some light, I will be highly grateful.
Regards and Thanks
