Hi guys,
I want to connect my AMD Radeon HD6450 HDMI port to my AV receiver 7.1 analog multichannel input, (AVR has no HDMI port), to get newest lossless audio formats, Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master.
To do this:
1 option: Get a "HDMI to HDMI 7.1ch Audio Extractor Converter" like this

2 option: Get a USB external sound card like this

Software decoder is PowerDVD 14.
My question:
Which method works best and deliver the better sound quality?
Thanks for advice
