Hi. I have had a Sound blaster Zx for some time now, and I just bought the Logitech Z906 THX Certified 5.1 surround speakers/sub.
Both the Sound Card and the Sub have two optical ports for Digital Audio.
My old speakers (logitech z506) did not have any optical ports on the sub.
I currently have the sub connected to the sound card with the 3x stereo analogue leads that shipped with the Z906.
So my questions are as follows:
1: Do I need two optical cables to get digital audio, or can I use one?
2: Would I get 5.1 surround with optical, or will I only get Stereo output?
3: Is there a discernible increase in quality using digital over analogue?
4: when playing a blu-ray will my output be DTS instead of PCM? (My sound card supports DTS but I only get 6ch PCM output atm)
Please assist.
