Guys, the Asus Xonar series cards have better DACs and OpAmps than most of the popular receivers out there. The new Xonar with the daughter board even adds *replaceable* OpAmps, like the old X-Meridian had. This'll allow you to install LM4562's for each channel. This is awesome for an HTPC...a few extra analog cabes is better than having to spend a few grand and take up space with a receiver.
