Can you route the SBX-surround from your onboard implementiation to optical-out?
Then you could go optical-in to the G5 for original SBX.
Yes! I tried it and it works! I just have to enable the "play stereo mix to digital output" in the SBX Pro Studio Advanced Features Tab and set the onboard Sound Core3D as the default playback device in windows so it handles the multi-channel virtual surround processing. After that I set the G5 in stereo mode with all DSP effects off so it just acts as a outboard DAC/AMP.
Thanks for the tip. Now I can have the best of both worlds. Good sound quality and one of the best virtual surround implementations in the market!
