Good to see , it's basically a toss up depending in implementation as usual , there is no way to favor any digital interface over the other all basically "works". And AV recievers have got awesome performance lately ? If it has preout you can probably surprise an unsuspecting audiophile :) using the preout to drive power amps . The weakness in HT recievers are still the power amp and the power supply they may struggle with some speakers . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
