QUOTE(valve_300b @ Dec 20 2006, 05:56 PM) it depends on wat gear u have. My stereo system will beat the crap out of your 5.1 THX certified sony mini combo or those logitech PC Speaker ala home theater.  QUOTE(stringfellow @ Dec 20 2006, 05:58 PM) Stereo beating a surround sound? If you're talking about volume and punchiness, that might apply, but if you're talking about surround sound, no stereo speaker system can satisfactorily work even at Dolby Virtual Surround. thx string fellow for clearing this out.i lazy to explain to stereo-lovers, stereo is fun for songs, musics and etc, but not enuf to recreate the ambients for modern games & movies lah. QUOTE(hikaru_x @ Dec 20 2006, 06:42 PM) the 360 don't support 5.1 via those red/white rca plug la bro... only via optical, then u have the option of dolby digital 5.1 or dolby digital 5.1 with WMA Pro. yeap using red/white rca plug the best u can get is dolby pro-logic only... if you have a dolby digital capable receiver with speakers, subwoofer and all and your question is: will the discreet dolby digital 5.1 kick the matrixed dolby pro-logic? hell yes  some articles from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Digital http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Pro-Logic oh, don't wet your pants yet... soon there will be an update to support dts(tm) output  (source: go search the xb360 thread or google urslef lah, i want go eat already...)QUOTE(munky @ Dec 20 2006, 06:54 PM) can 4.1 use optical cable ? And im using it for the pc as well. Plugged the jack into the soundcard's line in. ANy idea ? unless ur soundcard take optical in, and decode them into 4.1. or u meant something else? |

lol get real, that puny speaker mana boleh, fast fast go upgrade
Some of the Options, 1. Sony HTK5, HTiB RM 1599 2. Sony STR DG500 AV Receiver - RM 899, then find some local made speakers, should last you for a while. there are a lot more u can do with just 1500. |
