“The backplate features the aforementioned 6 USB ports, as well as 1 PS2 keyboard/mouse port, optical SPDIF port, DB-15 (VGA), DVI, HDMI, Firewire, e-SATA, Gig-E, and 6 analog audio plugs. [b] The HDMI port is of great interest because of the upgraded 785G, which is now HDMI 1.3 compliant and can support 8 PCM streams[/b]. HTPC buffs can stop licking their chops now.”
“Firewire is provided by a VIA chip, while the ethernet duties are taken up by the Realtek PCI-E 8111L controller. [b]The Realtek ALC889 is handling the audio, and it appears to come with full Dolby Digital Encoding as well as full Blu-Ray audio support (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD decoding)[/b].”
There’s two big claims here: 8 channel LPCM and Dolby TruHD/DTS-HD support. Can anyone here either confirm or debunk these claims?
