I'm using my computer to play DVD audio music. Both my computer's
soundcard (Audigy 2 ZS) as well as the computer speaker system
(Logitech Z-680 THX) are capable of decoding DTS signals
independently.
Currently, I have my soundcard decoding the DTS signal and outputing
it via "analog" wires to my speakers. This "analog" connection are
simply six separate wires (front left, front right, sub, center, rear
left, rear right) going from my computer to my speakers. My Audigy2
manual refers to this as "analog" connection.
However, I'm thinking of maybe re-wiring the whole thing. Instead of
letting the computer decode DTS and transmitting the sound through the
6 I wires I mentioned... I would simply pass the DTS signal through a
single digital coaxial wire from my PC to the Z680 THX Speakers. The
speakers would decode the DTS signal itself. My Audigy2 Soundcard
manual refers to this as "digital" connection.
I've always thought that both methods would produce identical sound
fidelity. Am I wrong? Would the so-called "digital connection"
method be of any improvement from the "analog connection" method?
