The Xonar DSX supports DTS Interactive technologies, which transcode any
audio, including games and music, into industry-standard DTS 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 DTS digital audio from any of your
PC audio sources to any digital speakers or AV Receivers with 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.
