I'm using a 7-year old Onkyo 7.1 surround sound system right now. It sounds great, but when you use the menus (like browse a DLNA server) or switch inputs (or something cuts out), there's a second or two lag on everything.
I wish that AV receivers had USB inputs for PCs.
"But Andrew," I hear you say: "Go to $store and search for receivers with USB ports. There's hundreds!"
Those USB ports are for playing MP3s off a flash drive. A PC isn't a flash drive. Do you have a receiver like that? How do you connect a PC to it with USB?
- antoine-unity 4y agoGet yourself some DAC like a Topping D10s. This specific model can also convert USB to SPDIF coax or toslink to connect in your receiver, instead of RCA analog.
- theandrewbailey 4y agoI'm already using HDMI for 7.1 uncompressed PCM. I need to configure my receiver as an extra display just so an audio signal can piggyback off it. Thus, my desire for a simple USB connection. I'm pretty sure my motherboard has SPDIF optical out, but SPDIF would be a downgrade since it only supports compressed 7.1 or uncompressed stereo.
