I currently have a HTPC sitting around doing nothing. I have a plan to use it primarily for music (flac files) and to then use it in conjunction with my Sony AV amp in my main living room.
As such would like to know would I be OK using the current onboard sound or would it be better to invest in a dedicated sound card? If going the dedicated route what would I need in the way of DAC / cables etc to link it up to my AV amp.
I know it sounds a bit vague but I'm very much a newby at this - give me the old black disk anyday!
