Hi, im building 3 systems and am begining to get down what i want in soundcard. Tell me where i go awry here please
Im gonna use an outside surround recvr/speaker kit, prob 7.1 or 5.1 min with optical input.
So i looked and found that Turtlebeach seemed to be only one with optical in and out (my directtv recvr has optical out which id like to pass thru PC)
Too bad TB only has 96 khz sample rate, i cant figure why. SBlaster has been up to 192 for awhile now, and i wonder what im losing But i cant find any SB that has optical in or out, even RCA in/out, at least not without $46000 front end piece.
Any ideas...or maybe im overestimating sample rate importance (i dont think so tho) Also will any/all of these support 7.1 dolby surround coming out of directtv HDTV box and output it well ?
Thanks
