Second that, what exactly are you trying to achieve with a sound card? I mean if you are planning "better" speakers in the future then invest in a card. The Z5500 does not need/deserve it.strategy said:Why not use the inbuilt DAC of the Z5500 ?

Please clarify, are z5500 not "better" speakers? why does it not need a card?sarang said:Second that, what exactly are you trying to achieve with a sound card? I mean if you are planning "better" speakers in the future then invest in a card. The Z5500 does not need/deserve it.
No it wont as you will be doing S/PDIF out to the speakers. In this way the Z5500 will be doing the decoding & not the sound card.thenvk said:Sorry to bump this thread.
