Dunno which one sounds better. Have only got the analog cables which came with the speakers.
Before I went out and bought a digital SP/DIF cable, wanted to see if anyone knew whether it would be an improvement. Have to guess which decoder is better, the sound card's or the speaker amp's. Or do research on the web. Or, as a science experiment, get the other cable and see which is better.. thanks. -Ben > 0_0 > Well.. > > Which one *sounds* better? > > -Gel > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 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.
