Hey guys, i'm new to using these forums but have been visiting Toms for years and years now.
I was hoping to enlist the experience you all here.
I'm currently looking to buy some logitech z-5500 speakers, but am at a crossroads afa how to connect the devils. I currently only have a Soundblaster Live! 24-bit sound card which i am using instead of onboard audio. I also have a rather primative onboard codec on my Asus A7V8X-X mobo, which has Sp/dif out (coax i think?).
So my question is...what would be the superior way to connect the speakers out of these 2 options? Can i hook the speakers up with the sp/dif? Would that pass a digital signal to the pod's encoder? Or should I stick with the connections provided by the SB Live! 24-bit (analog connections?).
Thanks for reading that all if you have made it here, hehe
