i used optical for movie and normal rca for music & game. its rock!!!

@limhongwoon : going for both Digital and Analog like gac

then what sound card got support both Digital and Analog ?? what is gac ??

@limhongwoon: the new Xfi pci-e can do both.

gac the guy above my post , he oso use both

how to connect it ?? optical plus 6channel direct ??

i think on X-fi pci-e card have all the connection.. u can do both , so u connect all and u can switch between optical and direct on your Z5500 control pod Input button

like this

tat mean digital is optical ?? can i use both at the same time ??

both Optical and Coax are digital connection

z5500 support coax connection ??

@limhongwoon: what do u mean using both at the same time? like me movies on Optical and music on Analog.

coax and optical has lil difference in terms of SQ where normal human ears cant really differentiate it..

like what i said b4, gaming & music using RCA and Movie using optical connection. optical or coxial are both digital connection. thus, for me no difference.

im using realtek sound card..( it comes with my mobo)
got digital input ..

so my question is " Am i good to go for Z5500?

which brand of optical cable better ?? monster cable ??

no need monster cable ler... i m using philips brand only cost RM65

where do u get the philips brand 1 ??

carefour subang or anywhere selling philips products. i even saw it at tesco before

im using that came with soundcard somemore and maybe change to phillips too. is there any difference between normal cable and the branded one?
