DAC for Multi-Channel audio (5.1 / 7.1)?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hey,

 

I looked everywhere for a DAC that will do 5.1 / 7.1 converstion, does this exists, any recommandation?

 

I'm trying to build the ultimate HTPC and replace my bluray player, budget is 2-3'000$ max

 

Thanks a lot.

what you are looking for is called a surround sound processor-  stand-alone dacs are generally pcm 2-channel devices.  a processor will take bitstream via coax or toslink, or via hdmi.   you would then go analog out from the processor to your amplifier(s).

 

Hope that points you in the right direction
