The web-site says the device is HDCP compliant, so I would assume the optical audio outputs and possibly the analog audio outputs are downgraded by the device to CD quality. FWIW, I use the PC's analog outputs for 5.1 into my old receiver, and it works. However there is some hum when the output level from the PC is too low.</blockquote>
