Digital or Analog

[nekrosoft13]

I have an Audigy 2 and Logitech Z5500 speakers. I was just wondering is it worth it to buy a digital cable instead of using the direct 5.1 analog cable to hook up my speakers.

i know that digital is better, just how much better?

Well it depends on what you're trying to do. If you're gaming, you need to have the analog connections. For movies the digital cable will do you better (for DTS or DD decoding).

Really I see no reason not to use both (I do personally on a X-Fi.)

It's not necessarily better. The determining question is what can convert to analog better: The Z-5500s or the Audigy2.

From what I hear they are pretty comparable.
