Any one got try this : -
Speaker : Logitech Z5500
Sound Card : Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Music (Attached with Digital I/O Module)
Cable From Sound to Speaker : Original speaker Cable (Z5500) and Optical Cable
Operation System : Window XP SP2
Audio Player : Foobar2000
Audio Player Playback Output : ASIO
Sound Card Mode : Audio Creation Mode

Now my problem :
When i select Entertainment Mode for my sound card, my speaker can detect 6 channel direct sound and optical output.
When i select Audio Creation Mode for my sound card, my speaker only can detect 6 channel direct sound with ASIO output. But the optical output for my speaker has no signal.
Thats means the Audio Creation Mode cannot perform ASIO output through optical cable to speaker or what???
Any pro user here can give me advice.

/ps: This sound card only can perform ASIO output from Audio Creation Mode. Other 2 mode (Entertainment Mode and Game Mode) cannot perform ASIO output.

Thats means the Audio Creation Mode cannot perform ASIO output through optical cable to speaker or what???

so i wish to ask about your opinion about these 2 situations :
1. A music play with ASIO format go through normal cable to speaker.
2. A music play with digital format go through optical cable to speaker.

Which one can perform better?

So any recommendation for external DAC?
