NOT MY PICTURE I GOOGLED MY RECEIVER AND MINE IS WAY BETTER CONDITION

 

I could buy a new Receiver thats Pioneer that is also 5.1 and have Bluetooth and all them goodies which my old receiver dont got.

Or I could buy a new CPU and motherboard and run digital from motherboard to old receiver 

I was thinking a Xeon 1231v3 and a H97 board

CPU: A8-5600K GPU: MSI RX 480 GAMING X 4GB MOBO: ASUS A55BM-PLUS 

RAM: 2x 4GB Samsung DDR3-1600 1.25V PSU: Corsair CX430 CASE: Enermax Ostrog Windowed STORAGE: PNY CS1111 120GB / Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM OS: Windows 10 Pro & macOS Sierra 10.12.3

Technically Analogue is higher quality compared to digital....

Do you really need to buy a new one? Do you really need a new motherboard and CPU?

If it is not malfunctioning and/or broken then why try to repair or replace it?

I got a A8-5600K and cant really play BF4 with it cuz of the bottleneck. I always wanted to use my 5.1 but im stuck to 2.1 cuz I got no way to run digital to receiver but if i get a new receiver I can run HDMI in and then out
