You many not know - that generic PCs can only output BD audio at DVD quality (48kHz sample rate), because none of them have a Protected Audio Playback System (PAPS) compliant with AACS (Advanced Access Content System). They are also limited in the fact that they most often lack HDMI1.3 interfaces.
The ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3 Series are the world’s first and only sound cards to achieve AACS/PAPS compliance, and guarantees true Blu-ray quality audio playback with a maximum 196kHz sample rate. Being able to bitstream next-generation audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master, Dolby Digital Plus, etc., it gives all HTPC lovers sensational and realistic Blu-ray cinema experiences – right at home with your PC with a single HDMI1.3 cable.
