Hi everybody,
I'm in the process of putting together a new PC which will be
used both as a workstation and HTPC.
For the case, I was thinking about the Antec Sonata 550 Plus,
which is supposed to be good and quiet (nonetheless, any other
suggestion is welcome :-). As for the CPU, I was thinking about
an Intel Quad Core (not the extreme, I do not really need that
much power... in fact not even the quad, but nowadays the price
difference with a "Duo" is so small I guess it's not worth it).
I'm in doubt about the motherboard. What about something like
the new Intel X38? or perhaps some other brand (Asus?) would be
better?
I'll need at least 6 internal SATA + at least 1 E-SATA and both
copper and fiber SPDIF out. (that's why I'm asking here... 8:-)
Are there any M/B with an integrated audio chipset which is
capable to work at various sampling rates without resampling
or will I need an add-on audio card anyway?
I will need at at least 44.1 KHz 16 bit for output to an external
2ch DAC which only accept CDDA format, plus AC3/DTS/DD pass-through
to drive an external A/V processor.
Thanks in advance.
Ciao,
Paolo.
