I believe I already stated that replacing the AVR was out of the question. Its only used for audio. An equivalent AVR, with HDMI capabilities, is going to set me back around $1000. Or did you have some other solution in mind? I'm not looking for any analog-> digital converter - in that case I could simply run the 3.5mm stereo output to the AVR.
What I was hoping to dig up, was a cheap USB sound card with optical toslink (passthrough). The receiver handles DD/DTS decoding.
A blind shot; are there any toslink/spidf headers on the NUC board?
