Intel? AMD? Either?

Nvidia 8x00/9x00 -based motherboards should do the job.

I'm not sure if any of the chipsets offer audio through HDMI. Might want to ascertain that. I think you need to carry audio over (preferably) through the optical out.

If you insist on using just one HDMI between your system and the Denon, and the price is not an issue, get the ASUS Xonar HDAV 1.3. It has HDMI input and adds sound to the signal while making sure audio and video are in sync. Then HDMI out to connect your system to an A/V receiver. It'll be a pricey trip for one cable convenience but it also gets you lossless HD audio if you have sources mastered at 24 bit or 96 kHz. Whether you have the a system to hear the difference though, that's another thing.

AMD 780g/790gx, Nvidia 8x00/9x00 and maybe Intel chipset(?) all offer audio thru HDMI.... that's part of the appeal.

The downside to AMD's implementation is that it cannot carry uncompressed LPCM multichannel thru HDMI.

Just use a cheap video card and run the SPDIF out from the motherboard into your graphics card.

The best solution is to use a dedicated ATI HD4xxx video card. There are many reasons why. Just do it. 😉

Oh, I had forgotten that. Maybe I was too keen on having the lossless audio through the Xonar. 😀

Ok, so the Geforce 9300/9400 is the best solution from what I've read and can remember 🙂
