Hi, I'm not pro with audio but I want max potential from my speakers(Z-5500).
Everyone seems to be fimiliar with Z-5500, so I'll go straight into the questions.
I play Movies, Games and Music quite a lot, but I've seen other forums saying that analog > Digital. I'm not quite sure why's that true to what I've researched. I'm using Digital (optical) atm
For Max Pot, do I need Dolby on my Windows 7? Or need a better sound card? I'm using the onboard sound card of my motherboard (P5Q3 mobo). If I do want best audio. Would I need an upgrade?

If there's a guide I can use, that would be great

Thanks :)
