I just bought the Z5500 (awesome system for $$, actually pretty awesome anyway).
So far I've got it connected to my GA-P35-DS3L mother board with the 3 jacks (orange, black, and green) it comes with. I understand this an analog connection. My mother board also has an optical out.
As I understand it, the optical connection will transfer the digital signal directly to the Z5500 for decoding.
So which is better? The Z5500 DAC's or the Mobo's onboard audio DAC's?
I use the speakers for gaming and playing music, but mostly gaming.
