I'm looking for a 5.1 amplifier for my computer. I'd like to get something that doesn't have all of the features of a normal 5.1 home theater receiver. Is there such thing as an amplifier that can accept hdmi/optical/etc audio in and has 5.1 output without any video features (pass through, upscaling, etc) or radio or network streaming or anything that isn't audio in then audio out? Am I stuck buying a normal audio/video receiver and doing my best to ignore all the extra features I don't need?

i7-5820k @ 4.3GHz / Asus X99-A / Corsair H100i GTX / G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4
970 EVO 500GB SSD, 28TB NAS / MSI GTX 960 Gaming / Antec P280 / 2x Dell U2515H 25" / Windows 7 Pro
