If you've already got the cables, try them both and see which sounds better.
Failing that, I'd look at where cables are going to get routed. The digital
is going to get less interference if you have to run it by anything which is
going to ... uh ... create interference. Wow was that eloquent. Anyway, if
you have to run cables by a fan or a flourescent light or something, I'd go
with the digital cable. Else, I'd trust the Audigy's decoder more.
Of course, I have no experience with either piece of equipment, so the above
is all theoretical. :-)

: Subject: SoundBlaster/speaker question
:
:
: Hi Bill (or anyone else who knows a lot about SoundBlaster),
:
: My new super-Dell came with a SoundBlaster Audigy2 card, and I
: got the awesome
: Logitech Z-680 THX 5.1 speakers.
:
: The Audigy2 is supposed to have really good DD and DTS decoding.
: The Logitech 500-watt amp also has hardware decoding.
:
: I have 2 options for connecting the Audigy2 and speakers:
:
: (1) digital cable (SP/DIF) from sound card to speaker control unit, or
: (2) 3 analog cables (front, rear, center/sub).
:
: (1) lets speakers do the decoding, (2) lets the sound card.
:
: Any opinions on which would be better?
:
: Thanks.
