Hi folks,
Ok, I have been 'round and 'round the various audio fora. I guess that, in my price range, it's come down to a reciever such as the Panasonic SA-XR70S or the Pioneer VSX-1014TX-K. One is pure digital path, the other not.
Tonight I finally committed to the Pioneer after reading an untold number of positive reviews.
Considering I can always return it, let me ask you this: If you wanted the best bang for the buck in two or 2.1 channel audio for now, with the possibility of future upgrades to surround sound, what would you do?
I plan to have my PC as the primary source, and even then, I'm debating whether to cancel my order for an Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 LT and get a simple card or motherboard that allows bit perfect pass through on a digital out.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Evan
