Best mATX HTPC mobo selection w/ digital audio?

Hi guys,

 

 

I've been poking around on the forums and on the HCL's a bit and haven't been able to come up with an ideal solution yet... so I was wondering if anyone could give me a recommendation...

 

I'm looking for a mATX mobo that will work as flawlessly as possible out of the box... sure, I know many 945's and 975's can do that no problem. I'm not as familiar with the G35's.

 

What's the catch? I really don't want to settle for analog outputs for my surround. Ideally I'd like to have coax digital output on the thing.

 

So I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a particular mATX mobo with coaxial that will work as easily as possible out of the box. I'd greatly appreciate it. ;)

 

Thanks much!

HERE is someone at the German forum who has very good results with the Intel DG31PR mATX board.

 

Thes specs and test he lists look good, not using on-board audio tho', instead M-Audio Rev 7.1 and original Mac drivers.

check it out....

 

good luck, ninetto
