Whats the difference

[rosco1234]

I an thinking of upgrading to the new LGA 1155 motherboards and I was browsing around the ASUS boards and saw that the P8P67 DELUXE has the ALC889 audio chip-set and the P8P67 EVO has the ALC892 audio chip-set and I was just wondering whats the difference between the two.

I believe they are the same with the exception of the ALC892 supports the streaming of lossless multichannel codecs like Dolby True HD and DTS HD. This is a new HD feature and your reciever needs to have this feature as well in order for it to be of benefit. Not much documentation out there (still pretty new)...
