ION 330HT series introduction Part I

Does this pass TrueHD and DTS Master Audio over HDMI? Or decode the above to LPCM?

I would expect to hook it up to AV Receiver AMP using HDMI. Is this fully featured, or does it downsample HD audio over the HDMI?

This one looks more COOLER i can call this a complete HTPC Solution :) its really what i am looking for i am satisfied with it if i buy it i don`t need to buy any accessory except to mess with the HDD + Ram i want a fully blown 4GB Ram + 2 WD 500GB in Raid 0 and then call it a day :)

There's no real difference between the original ION330 and the ION330HT !!

ASRock bundle in a MCE Remote, but if you have the original ION330 with a MCE Remote, then they're the same.

I wouldn't run a HTPC over WiFi.

The only other differences are the EU-regulated power consumption, and external eSata connection.

And the wireless.

@Cbers62

And the audio codec upgrade to Realtek ALC890B which is 110dB audio quality with Blu-ray audio support. And it can support one more HDD with RAID0 or RAID1.

@Cbers62 there's too a raid support..
