Which would be the better setup,
1. An Audigy 2 ZS connected to a DTS-610 for real time DTS encoding.
2. A Auzentech X-Plosion Sound card.
Pro's and cons I see to each.
1.
- More wires and less simplistic. Have to connect current sound card to it via analog cables(they are 3.5 mm cables though and only 3).
- 5.1 is the max it can encode to
- EAX would be supported
- Better game performance(assumption)
- Cheaper Assuming the sound card is already owned
- Creative software(I hate it)
2.
- One wire connection to any receiver and one card solution
- 7.1 DTS encoding
- Shaky EAX support
- Not as good game performance
- Encoding adds load to CPU
- Slightly more expensive
Anyone have any input into these two options? I really think these are both gonna start growing in popularity and am wondering what everyone else thinks is the better way to go.
