Onkyo 5100 AVR pairing with HTPC

I kinda disagree coz there are options specifically for htpc. MSI for fusion is classic example, 2100t processor is tweaked for htpc market so we should have something in mobo category for sandybridge. These do not require overclocking, no external heat sinks since the power consumed is less for the tasks they need to support n do also be silent so that they wont interfere in htpc usage and even be 24*7 without being heavy on bills.

May be its evolving or India is still not in the center of this niche market so not a lot of stuff is bought by importers and distributors for this segment.
 
If you add GPU (HD 5XXX series or GTX 4XX series), you will get HD Audio, the first thing and also the ability to bitstream so that the AVR does the processing.

Thank you
I was considering whether I should go for an external GPU or not
This just clinched the argument
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
