HTPC connect to DAC for Home Cinema (1 Viewer)

[Dario1971]

Hi all.
I have to connect an HTPC to a Yamaha RX-A3080, in order to view my movies.
Because HTPC it is 20 meters away from Yamaha RX-A3080, how many ways you know I can use?
Thanks in advanced.

You probably want an Active HDMI cable, something like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=21568

It's the uniq way I have?

The distance is why an Active cable is suggested, normal HDMI cables are good for only 5-10m or so.

You've got four solutions:

Standard HDMI
See on Amazon

Active HDMI as suggested by @Peter Apruzzese

HDMI by CAT

Use a streaming device (AppleTV, Roku, Nvidia Shield) with wifi running HTPC client app to connect to an HTPC server app, and not run any wiring.
