I thought the same thing, but ncix is selling brand new ones, they were one sale last week for like $120 canadian.
Looking for a soundcard; utterly lost.

I didn't say it was written in stone. We are talking about low-mid and some high end units. There are some units that will have better quality depending on what card your using in comparison. Forte? I thought you were using a XM.
Just for sake of conversation, this receiver your using now is new right? Your last receiver, had a DAC of lower quality then your XM...correct? You were using analog for best sound quality.
IIRC, we had the conversation and I told you to try it out...

My HTPC had the Forte in it but it's a slim case so I can't fit the X-Meridian in there. X-Meridian is on my work PC while the HTPC just HDMI's out to my receiver. Receiver model is in my sig. It was released in August 2009 to the general public. My old receiver was full of fail. Cheap $300 receiver from back in 2002.
Just about anything was going to beat that lol
