Thread: Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 Slim analyze

It is not good to do, and that Asus Xonar HDAV Slim 1.3 sound cards, and yet it is manna for those of us who want to listen to the audio tracks are so many high-definition Hollywood movies released on Blu-ray. The reason for the controversial Microsoft does not need a product like this, if Vista provided protected audio path.

Later all this card doesn’t decrypt Dolby Trued or DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks nor does it increase the audio or the video it only communicates the signals by to your A/V receiver.

Using the supplied HDMI cable card takes the output of your graphics card encrypts the new soundtrack, so no one can capture the bit stream for bit-perfect copy weak, and encrypted video and audio outputs to a second port HDMI. For those who do not have HDMI Asus also a DVI to HDMI.

The defended audio path wants a software element too so Asus bundles a copy of ArcSoft’s Total Media Theater with the Xonar. Not your deary media player? Too bad it’s the just one that’s matched. For what it’s worth we don’t have some objections about the program.

There’s nothing exceptionable about its user interface it can cover all the leading codecs and it supports BD-Live so you can approach any online message is linked to the movie you’re watching.

Asus really has three cards in its Xonar line that are able of attracting off this trick. The HDAV 1.3 Slim however is the only low-profile card in the lineup and it’s available only in a PCI form factor. That’s unfortunate regarding that our current favorite home-theater PC program AMD’s Live Home Cinema ditched that aging standard.
