Hi all,
Based on my expected usage, I'm looking for an A/V receiver to fit the bill. I'm somewhat undetermined on my budget, but would prefer to keep it reasonable since I feel money is better spent in other parts of the system.
First and foremost is stereo audio/music. The input source will be from my computer via a digital fiber (TOSLink I believe), mostly with lossless file formats (FLAC/WAV). I do watch some movies, and would like to have a decent 5.1 setup as well. I suppose the most important aspects are good DACs (Burr-Brown hopefully), 5.1 channel line-level outputs (I plan on using an external amp from NAD or Rotel), and digital inputs. Video pass-thru/upscaling isn't worth the justification in cost to me.
With that in mind, does anyone have any budgetary recommendations for me? I'm not really interested in a pre/pro setup since it seems most are well out of line cost-wise.
Thanks!
