Default Logitech Z-5500!!!
My X-MAS PRESENT!! Seriously Pwning so far.

Just have few questions about this. I'm currently running 6 Ch. Direct, is what it is called. For 5.1 w/ my Audigy 2 ZS. And it works decent I guess, I can cycle through the modes of.

Stereo
Stereo x2
PLII Movie
PLII Music
6 Ch. Direct


Normally I listen to music in Stereo x2 and my DVD's in just 6 Ch. Direct


Now these are supposed to be digital instead of analog.... I believe Digital = Better than ANALOG? Correct me if I'm wrong but thats what I think..

Now my soundcard has a Digital Out. And my speakers have a Digital in which is Coax I believe. Now I didn't get a Digital cable w/ me speakers or my soundcard. Can I even do this? Which is better? What do I need to buy? And what is best to do with these speakers and my card?

I included a SS of how I currently have it setup.

Thanks guys.

why do u listen to music in stereo x2 imo that seriously cuts the bass. the 6ch direct is the best for music if you really like bass. pretty much what this system is known for.

Actualyl my bass is fine in Stereo x2.... in 6 ch. direct, its just raw audio. Theres no decoding or anything going on... Normally like right now I'm listening to my music on PLII Music,,, which is a Dolby feature I believe. works great
