Let's not forget, for a gaming system you need 5.1 sound. Not only 5.1 speakers, but a good 5.1 headset too. I use one of the Turtle Beach models.
This is news to me. I run the digital stream over an optical cable to a DAC which can feed either my headphones or my main power amp over balanced cables. The DAC functions as the preamp, in other words. I have no use for surround sound at this time. Not that there's anything wrong with surround, but it isn't a make or break issue for gaming. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
