I've decided to buy the logitech z906 5.1 speaker set for overall use with my pc as my old 2.0 whateverbrand speakers gave out,
The z906 set seems very appealing, however I know that I need a sound card (no problem here), but which one?
The speakers have either 3 3.5mm jack (Fronts, Rears, Center+Sub) inputs or digital optical input.
I'm looking at the Asus Xonar DGX for the 3.5mm option or Creative Soundblaster Audigy RX for optical audio.
Seems like going optical would be more expensive (30$ more than the 3.5mm way) but i have no idea how both of them would compare.
I plan on mainly playing games where the 3d spacial sound is kinda important (Racing, FPS games), that's why the 5.1 setup, but i also listen to music. What would be the optimal way to use this set of speakers?
