The Xonar D2 supports Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive technologies, which
transcode any audio, including games and music, into industry-standard Dolby
Digital or DTS 5.1 surround bit-streams. This makes playback through your home
theater system possible, creating an immersive and impressive cinema surround
sound experience. A single digital cable connection can carry high-quality Dolby
Digital or DTS 5.1 digital audio from any of your PC audio sources to any digital
speakers or AV Receivers with Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 decoding capabilities.
You can also use a coaxial cable for a S/PDIF connection. Just plug the coaxial
RCA male connector to the S/PDIF-Out combo jack and connect the other end
into the coaxial S/PDIF input on your decoder.
