Digital Coax

[Kido1986]

I know regular SPDIF only does 2 channel, except in DVDs but what about Digital Coax? I'm looking to get the Asus K8V and it appears to have Digital Coax, although it's listed as SPDIF on newegg specs. I have Z680s wanted to know if I can hook them up to it and get 5.1. My DVD on my home theater uses digital coax, but I don't know if DC works the same as SPDIF.

I don't know if DC works the same as SPDIF.

It does. SPDIF is the protocol. Coax is the connection type.

Get the Asus A7N8X-Deluxe. Its got on-the-fly Dolby Digital 5.1 encoding (SoundStorm) which will let you hook up to your Z680's and get full digital 5.1 sound. Careful not the get the A7N8XE-Deluxe though, as it sux at overclocking according to Kyle's review.
