Hi guys i have a Xonar D2 and an 5.1 system Philips Hts 5540 and i connect the two through a coaxial cable My question is in coaxial do i use the hts 5540 dacs or the Xonar dacs? IF it is the Hts 5540 dacs is there a way i can use the Xonar dacs through coaxial? P.s: The 5.1 system has only coaxial in and stereo in so i cant use three 3.5mm jacs to connect the soundcard Thanks for the help!
The sound cards acts as a transport device when you are using coaxial or optical to a receiver or speakers with digital inputs in which the speakers are doing all the work You have to use analog if you want to use the components of the sound card.
yeah but the 5.1 system doesn t have 5.1 analog in just aux in which is 2 channel so there s no way through coaxial to use the dacs... i ve tried listening through coaxial and through aux in with a 3.5mm jack and i can t hear any difference strange... i m using speakers in windows sound panel not spdif but the xonar center is spdif out pcm
