Home audio, that is, for DVD playback.

Nope. Can't beat a good component DVD player.

Any decent HTPC will absolutely blow away a stnadalone dvd player for
picture quality, if it is setup correctly. But for the audio, a PC cant
touch even an inexpensive 5.1 discrete system.

Then please elaborate. No PC could ever come close in sound to my main HT,
and the PQ and tweaking possibilities that a decent HTPC can do cannot be
matched by a standalone player.

Which statement do you not agree with?

Do you own an HTPC?

Do you own a HT?

This bozo never elaborates.

The only reason you don't get better video quality from a PC is most of time
you don't have component output on the video card, most video cards to
composite. So the reality of it, depends on how your outputing the video
signal, more than what you are using.
Modern sound card do just as way a good stand alone sound system.
