Current Receiver is (Yamaha RX-V461)
HDMI replacement for a HTPC setup, 5.1 out on Spdif is just becoming a problem.
Any recommendations on a reliable somewhat affordable replacement option? Say sub $600
If I'm going HDMI, I want the pass through obviously.
The HTPC doubles for games but I do mostly use it for music or movies.
The Yamaha system has been good I hate to kick it out, but Windows and Linux don't want to play nice with 5.1 Spdif optical anymore and I don't want to keep fighting with it.
Feels like a waste but time moves on, right?
I'm in Canada Never had any other brand these are Yamaha Speakers and have held up well.
