Here's what I know, hope it helps. I've read that the SB128 does support a
digital out but I've yet to try it as I have a Live in my main linux box. If
it does support the digital out what you'll need is a 1/8 inch MONO mini jack
to single rca connection (under $3 as Radio Hack) and then a digital coax
cable running to either a set of digital speakers (please stay away from the
Cambridge Soundworks) or a Dolby Digital receiver with a coax input. You'll
only get two channel support but you can pipe it to a home stereo as I do.
Good luck.
