Great news for HTPC cards and HDMI

Looking at this article here

Asus goes HDMI crazy


This could be very good news and some very interesting months ahead for all us HTPC people that have been wanting the HDMI and hopefully the ability to process the new audio formats.
Hopefully the other manufacturers will follow suit

Auzentech has X-Fi Prelude card that you can use in HTPC with X-Tension daughter card already. I saw it on their website anyway.

No, no, you dont get this. It is X-Fi

Oh well, I guess a matter of preferences. But even so X-Tension board works with X-Meridian card from Auzentech, too.
So it is actually ASUS who follows the suit not the other way round

Re: Great news for HTPC cards and HDMI

the generation of the HD audio signals for the hdmi interface is reasonably simple to cast into silicon, so we should see some HDMI soundcards on the market which aren't so ridicuously overpriced. at the moment, the money for the auzentech / asus stuff is better saved for the upcoming generation of HDMI receivers imho.
