Well I hope this is the right spot for this
I could have posted it at Audio asylum but Im here more often now adays it seams
Here is the url to eddies has anyone gotten anything from this site or know anything about it

My deliema goes as listed below
The PC is 5 years old p233 really out of date and I plan on spending about 1600 to 2k
But I also have this itch to buy a new Reciever for my HT
My current Pioneer VSX-D3S First gen AC-3 has no Cheapy optical ports 1 AC-3 RF input and a pcm spdif coax i presume and it is about 5 years old paid 1300 for it then
a new reciever that can accomidate 2 VCR's standard and a Svhs a sat reciever A high end LD player with Rf out for the Ac-3 demod and a PS2
would also cost about 2k min
Basisly Toslink or optical digital outputs are Fair but they are also cheap to intall in components so most all digital devices of this nature has at least an optical output
Coaxial digital is the proper route to go but up till now was only on the very high end stuff most DVD players today have one or the other sometimes both
What I need here is at least
A optical input for the PS2,sat , LD and at least 2 coaxial inputs one for a Future Dedicated DVD player
The PS2 is only so good
I can spend less for a Reciever but it seams that only those that posess a AC-3 RF out are the pinical units for each of the manufactures I have looked at
I can forget about the AC-3 Rf and just use it as a very xspensive CD player 1400 dollars worth but i would much rather Utilize it for the Dolby digital LD 's I still have
Pioneer elite,VSX-47TX Onkyo, 989 Yamaha, RX-V1
All three are software upgradeable thru an rs 232 port
My system about 15k total was bought during Better times cash is kinda tight these days
This outfit has insane prices so there has to be some sort of catch to it
So I guess the poll is:
A a new much need PC or
B a new Reciever so I can utilize 5.1 from all my sources
