Hi guys, new in this zone
 i'm planning to buy a Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 which right now is the only card that can properly read the audio path from a Blu-Ray. The sound card only has a SPDIF out connection and comes along with a optical adapter. Question is, will the sound card be compatible with my existing Z5500 5.1 system? how will the decoding work? through the sound card or the Z5500? Thanks in advance  |

gnx,
Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 does have a coaxial output jack but it can only be used for Dolby Digital 5.1 output. You have to use the HDMI outputs in order to experience the Dolby Digital TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound formats.You will need a decent home audio/video receiver to process Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio signals. |

QUOTE(gto87 @ Dec 23 2009, 05:21 AM) Guys, I'm on the verge of buying either DA5000 Pro or Logitech z5500 by the end of this week together with Asus Xonar D2x. That sounds almost perfect for me until I heard many of my friends said that z5500 will die sooner than any other speaker sets. Only one of them used the Logitech before. Other than that, the control pod oso got problem (maybe due to overheat)...I'm not like to listen to people as everybody have their own opinion but I read from the net, most of it were saying about the fuse problems. I'm aware that no speaker set is perfect but then then this speaker does not come cheap. It's RM1.3K. Almost similar to sony dvd surround system for god sake~ try google "z5500 fuse", you'll know why. EDIT: Done some thorough research just now and I found that the fuse problem is pretty common and almost every problem solved by replacing the fuse. Gonna search for any other problems and find the solution so that I'll be pretty much prepared when I have the speaker set.. Anyone with any experience with the z5500 can drop their comment. Thanks~ When I turn on the control pod, I can hear a loud pop. Not sure why. The fuse itself is kinda hard to get in KL. |
