I would go with option 1. I'm going to be getting new digital speakers soon enough hopefully after i get my opteron box.
But i use the Option 2 now which is nice i just have a feeling letting the speakers do the work might turn out better worst comes to worst run 1 speaker one way and 1 the other and see which one you like better. How much did the speakers put you back? 300? 600? ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 12:20 PM 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. > > /Ben > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
