Has anyone tried out the steaming of media from the pc to the 906? Is it worth it to upgrade to the 906 over the 876?

I've got a Radeon 4350 (second graphics card in the PC that does 7.1 channel PCM), going to an 876 and it has no problems what so ever.

I think with the 906 you pay a lot more for a little more power & current delivery (and networking features which I don't need), that's why I went with the 876 and it's one hel l of an impressive AVR, I love it. It's got so much power that I chicken out at high DB's before the speakers or amp runs out of steam.

And congrats on those speakers! I've been dreaming of getting a set of those but they are SO expensive here you'll cry if you see the difference in price between the US and SA.

How long of a cable can you have between the pc and the receiver? I would be steaming music from 2 rooms away so approximately 50 feet of cable. At what point do you get signal lose? .

I've got a 5meter HDMI cable going to the amp and then another 5meter hdmi cable going to the plasma. Sorry I don't know what the limitations are for the length of an HDMI cable.
