5.1 Connecting digital speaker systems (Home Theater)
The Xonar DS supports DTS Interactive technologies, which transcode any audio,
including games and music, into industry-standard DTS surround bit-streams.
This makes playback through your home theater system possible, creating an
immersive and impressive cinema surround sound experience. A single digital
cable connection can carry high-quality DTS digital audio from any of your PC
audio sources to any digital speakers or AV Receivers with DTS 5.1 decoding
capabilities.
You can also use a coaxial cable for a S/PDIF connection. Just plug the coaxial
RCA male connector to the S/PDIF-Out combo jack and connect the other end
into the coaxial S/PDIF input on your decoder.
