HTPC Soundcard

[AlexGTR]

Im currently using the optical out from the motherboard going into my Onkyo amp for my HTPC.

I was wondering is it better to get a soundcard and put my sound through that? Would one with HDMI be better?

Or shall i just wait till i get a GXT 580 and run all the sound through that and its HDMI?

If your amp has HDMI, take the sound via the gfx cards HDMI or DVI port. Perfect surround sound regardless of the source.
