Hi,

I have an AV amp which needs connecting to pc as a source and surround sound speakers.

I want to use optical digital connections cos thats all there is avaliable on the amp.

I want to use on board sound on a nforce2 motheboard (A7N8X-E deluxe) which i've heard can encode digital in real-time unless im mistaken.

Unfortunately it only has a coaxial digital out, so my questions are

Ive seen a coaxial to optical convertor for £13 are they worth it?? since the signal is digital , i dont suppose there will be much problems??

The HDA explosion sound card is heft at £60ish inc, I think i need that one cos it has a digital real-time encoding again.

Is there anyone an expert here?

At that price, it does not resample and so the signal should be transferred perfectly. I remember this discussion on the electronics forum :)
 
Excellent

Could anyone confirm the capabilities of the onboard sound on the A7N8X-E please as well?

thanks a lot
