Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Getting a new amp solution for my LFR1100's

I have been playing with an Intel Atom D2700 HTPC box and finally got it working well. Running a flavor of Ubuntu, I can get a copy of FooBar 2000 running and output though the Optical port while at the same time, have XBMC playing a video and output the sound through the HDMI.

This may sound pointless but I noticed that the better Pre-Amp solutions from Yamaha allows you to output a digital optical connection out to your Zone 2/3/4 ... a feature that I have not found in any of the receivers that for some reason only let you output an analog signal. So this would let me centralize out the audio so that you can listen to any music in any part of the house without limiting the ability to watch a movie in the media room.

The thought of getting a proper pre-amp is getting getting more thought and consideration all the time now.
