i think most local shops got sell. can support upto DD5.1 and DTS.

Optical you can get HD audio la, Z-5500 is 24bits

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I may be out of date. As far as I recall, the xbox 360 doesn't have an optical audio outlet, right? U can only use optical audio if u buy that stupidly priced Monster component cable which then branches out an optical audio toslink. Anyway, that's what I remember back then, which is why i stupidly bought that stupid monster cable thingy.

Depends on what your definition of optical and toslink is.....

To my knowledge, optical is the method of delivery, while toslink are the connectors, hence, they use optical toslink on the 360.

I route it through a switcher and the toslink works fine, without any fancy shamncy monster cables.

ya i see picture i see optical cable i worry about cable size can't connect Z-5500 and XBOX 360
i looking Optical Cable HD Audio high quality stroong bass and loud
pls give me picture about connect XBOX 360 and Z-5500 show me

hm...cant give u pic but just plug the cable into the hole at the back of ur speaker n the hole at the 360 vga cable there...should fit right in...

optical cable which Brand i looking high quality i dont want cheap coz very bad quality

Monster Cable stuff are overpriced. For most applications a standard non-big-brand optical cable would do fine.

bhaskar, for your application any optical cable (ie toslink) would be fine.

eh question, since it's digital, trasmit bits by bits , cheap really means "bad quality"? an expensive Monster cable
will sound any different ?

edit: ..ahah ok saw MK post only after i post this ...

LoL that's why..... it's digital.

just drop by any electrical shops like SenQ, harvey norman or shops at Jln Pasar, or even hypermarket, you'll find one easily

no point go for those super expensive branded one, especially monster brand, which are overpriced items, and full of bull crap.

Just drop by jalan pasar buy a cheap cheap no brand one, and it will work just fine. I'm using one bought from Jln Pasar 3, 4 years back, and has been using it since then until now, no problem at all, I can get full digital audios like DTS and DD, and no distortion.

trust me, you won't feel a different in a RM100 optical cable and a RM20 optical cable.

Expensive doesnt mean better. There is a guide on how to check the quality of the optical cable. I cant pin u the web coz on mobile now. Try to google it. Or u can go those reputable audio shop n see if they willing to tell u. I got mine around 1.5meter for around rm100 n no brand but quality stuff.

Agreed. Monster stuff are a waste of $. The only reason I bought it was because there was no toslink output on my first-generation 360 (I THINK!!), so had to use this method to get optical audio.

So my real question was, is there a toslink output at the back of the older-generation 360 units?

There's nothing to be afraid of. The grey plastic part labeled 'optical' on your speakers is actually just a cover. Seriously. Just hold it firmly, then pull it out of the socket. Once you remove that, you will see the exact optical input as on the Xbox 360's output. Connecting an optical cable is as simple as plugging in one end of the cable to the 360, and the other end to the optical input on your speakers. That's it.

As for cable brand, I really can't say that an expensive brand will make any difference. I'm also using a RM25 cable for my 360. So far, it's turning out great. Digital signaling is not like analogue signals, where there can be interference. Lastly, yes, a RM25 cable is still able to carry a Dolby Digital or DTS stream from your 360.

ohh my speaker optical cover i need removed so wil input can connect optical right i understand thanks explan
u bought optical Cable RM25 u said stil sound great right ???
u have tested how about Bass and loud still strong subwoffer ???? like DD5.1 and DTS like soundround still work fine ?????
pls tell me what u using brand RM25 or no brand RM25 right ????

bhaskar, most of us are using the cheap RM25 optical cable

and I believe non of us has experience any problem with the DTS and DD5.1

heck, my friend even is using the el-cheapo RM25 cable for his Blu-Ray player and his RM8k AV receiver, all HD Audio like DTS-HD, Dolby HD, 7.1 all no problem at all. The bass still can blow his roof away

His LCD TV = RM10k
His 7.1 speakers = RM8k
His HD AV receiver = RM8k
His Interconnects = RM1k
His Blu-Ray player = RM5k
His optical cable = RM25

If you're still not convince of the cheap cheap RM25 cable, and has extra $$$ to burn... by all means, go buy the RM100++ branded one if that can gives you a peace of mind.

Hm rm100 i think is normal la. There r more expensive than that.

wow nice ok i can buy Optical Cable RM25 but No brand right ????
still support DTS AND DD5.1 right still no worry right strong bass right all no problem right still fine

dun worry la... no problem one

playasia is selling even cheaper
http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2d95-7...4-j-70-14i.html

RM13 only with free delivery!

i dont buy online so i can go shop
u said Optical Cable RM25 no brand right i correct pls tell me

yes... RM25 can get a no brand one, how many times we need to tell you that ar?

that's about the price for a non-brand one lor... some might sell it slightly more expensive like RM30 - RM50

Hunt around lor...

But then most of the time the HD receiver should've decode the audio using HDMI instead. Coz u won't get HD Audio like DTS HD or Dolby HD thru optical.

ohh thanks
u said His 7.1 speakers = RM8k what speaker ?
my speakers 5.1 logitech Z-5500 RM1450

IIRC, toslink can't do dts-hd-ma and dolby-true-hd. Well, not tat it matters, but just fyi

High end speaker set has quite ridiculous price tag... main speaker can go over 2.5k, subwoofer 1.5-2k, center 1-1.5k, surround 1k, and these ain't the highest end...
