I've been looking at building a simple 2.1 home theater and have a few questions before I start purchasing components. I have two receivers in mind, however recommendations are welcome. Yamaha RX-V867BL or the Yamaha RX-V475. From my research it seems the DACs in sound cards are of better quality than most low end receivers. If that remains true I was looking at ASUS Xonar Essence or the Creative Sound Blaster, bear in mind that I only have PCI-E slots available. My main question is, should I use the sound card for possibly better DACs or use one of my available hdmi ports on a gtx 770. Any comments on something I may have overlooked are welcome as well.
In addition here are the speakers I am looking at for the setup.
Polk Audio PSW Series PSW505
Klipsch Reference RB-51 II Bookshelf Speaker Pair
Thanks in advance.
