what a difference! my DG510 decided not to send signals to the speakers anymore, after much troubleshooting i decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to the DG820. the HDMI audio throughput makes it worth it right there, not to mention getting DTS-HD-MA and TrueHD sound out of my PS3.
pretty happy with my purchase
recommendations on my next upgrade? i'm running a 5.1 setup at the moment, but wouldn't mind getting the back surrounds in the near future.
