MSI just released their latest HTPC Motherboard, the Media Live Diva. The board feautures a unique enhancement in the form of an intelligent digital amplifier, the D2 Audio DAE3. This expansion produces purely digital sound and supports THX, and because of the optional 5.1 or 7.1 add in card does not take up a lot of space in the media PC or generate a lot of heat.
Apart from the new sound solution the Media Diva sports DMI, VGA, RGB Component out, SPDIF in and out, Firewire, USB 2.0 and Gigabit ethernet. Graphics are provided by ATI's Radeon 3200 chipset paired with the AMD 780M southbridge. All AMD socket AM2 and AM3 processors are supported up to the latest Phenom X4 quadcore processor. For more information about the board please visit the MSI product page.
The Media Diva will be available as both a 5.1 package as well as a 7.1 package, boards can be found in stores as from today. Recommended retail prices are around US$ 159 for the 5.1 package and US$ 169 for the 7.1 solution.
