Hi all, could the sifus help me with the following:
I have been using Sonic Gear 2.1 speakers but am looking to get a 5.1 setup, to compliment my new 3D HDTV, for mainly gaming and watching movies. Prince ceiling being the price of the premium Logitech surround speakers.
1. Most of my gaming is done on the PS3 and I occasionally watch 3D blu-rays through it as well. I thought the optical input and HDMI are the only way of getting true surround from the PS3 or the RCA cables can suffice since, from reading the previous pages, I have noticed other brands being recommended to members looking to get 5.1 systems for PS3 gaming (yet none of them have optical inputs).
2. Any sound card recommendations that could take the PS3 optical sound in and output it, along with the PC sound, as surround sound through the 6-channel direct output thus allowing me to get other speaker brands not offering digital inputs. Like this HT | OMEGA STRIKER Card.
3. My room is pretty small, 3.5m x 2.5m, is this too small for surround sound or it will do just fine.
4. If am stuck with making a choice between the Logitech speakers, Z5500 and Z906, which will be the better option considering am not found of too much bass and would rather have more inputs allowing me to connect all my gaming consoles and other devices.
Thanks a lot in advance, cheers!

@rachet
those two logitechs are the best you can get with optical inputs
Z906 would suit you mainly you don't need that much bass and the 8" subwoofer is more than enough compared to the Z-5500 10" subwoofer which gets too boomy
questions about DAC converting optical to analogue has been asked many times around the forum but not many answers available.
even if they do the DAC alone cost a bomb already
