So I have been thinking of building the HT PC for quite some time, but recently I stumbled upon this:

It looks like a really nice option. I have ripped many of my blu-rays to MKV files. Does anyone have expereince playing those back on their hi end systems? I have so far only watched them on my pc and while they look great it is difficult to judge the audio performance. The MKV files retain the original size of the blu-ray about 30Gigs or so. I assume they keep lossless audio. These systems are also capable of bit streaming True HD audio. Can anyone comment on the performance of their HTPC when it comes to MKV playback?
