Onkyo is all along a well known brand for its audio system, now Onkyo is releasing a new version of HD audio computer ,the APX-2, it has been released in partnership with SOTEC a Japanese PC manufacturer.

In order to minimize the effect of vibration and noise emminated by other components, Onkyo worked hard to ensure the APX-2 is as silent as possible. The HDD is stored in a Super Floating HDD Unit, a kind of noise cancellation box (22dB max). Onkyo also bypassed Vista’s volume mixer function and installed Pure Direct Audio Path (PDAP) in order to avoid audio lost due to Vista’s poor HD audio support.
