I am not worried about gaming. Just need it for music.

I would also not recommend the Chaintech AV-710 if you're not going to be running this set-up with a DAC, it's analog outputs aren't great by any standards, the only good thing about it, is that it outputs bit-perfect, 44.1khz stereo, out of it's digital out. |
