Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater computer sound card for home theatre

cdrakejr,

I work with computers so I do not find it technically overwhelming. I actually prefer as much technical mumbo jumbo as possible!
I am most likely going to buy the Game Theatre XP. I, however, am looking for a good price. In canada, it's 230$ CAD with taxes.
I hear, however, that the GTXP is not a true 6 channel sound card, though I will only use it for the optical out and stream all the info into my Denon.

Do you or MBL have a good experience using the optical out? Does it compare well to a DVD or CD player that costs a few hundred dollars?

Thanks for the input, guys!
