Hi so i bought the Logitech Z-5500 brand new and just wondering should i use Digital or analog i have a Auzentech Forte 7.1 SoundCard.

I always used digital because it was easier for me, but honestly the best thing would be to hook it up and test it both ways and see which way you prefer.

yer i know that if i use Digital it bypass all the decoding and stuff on my soundcard.
post #4 of 5
I was using digital for about 2 years before I realised I was wasting my sound cards DAC, the DAC on the z-5500 is bad, use analogue unless you are running an old onboard.

The difference is significant.
