Sound card to amp?

The Audigy also has a
digital (coaxial?) output (looks like a female jack plug), the
trouble is, the amp doesn't appear to have an input for it, that
would've been ideal.

Coax - optical converters are available from a number of sources.

Maplin. They do them with both male and female phonos so you can extend
them with phono to phono.


I replaced my Maplin cables with the Qunex ones. They cost more and
they're prettier so... ;-))))

Maplins. Or make your own. If tempted to pay over the odds for
"audiophile" cable, just have a look inside the box of your amp etc.
You won't find anything esoteric there :-)

Does it matter? We're only talking about a Soundblaster under a fancy
name here - even the cheapest cables are good enough for that.

Cheers.

Actually, the 'Live!' range was pretty good.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are tasty and good with
ketchup.

Maybe not... I changed my cables after upgrading to an RME card. The
card change made a *huge* difference. I can't claim to hear any
difference from the cable, but having spent so much on the card I wanted
to give it the best chance. I chose QED as being value-for-mony quality
products (in my small experience) without going in for silly-money cables.


Cheers.

James.
