Hey all, long time viewer, first time poster.

I've been using an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with YouP PAX's drivers for a long time now. I'm about to start building a new PC and my first priority was the soundcard. I've already bought an Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 (still on its' way to me) but have just discovered that it may not be able to decode Dolby Digital and DTS from the PS3 via SPDIF-In like my Audigy 2 ZS has been doing for so long.

My question is this:

Is it possible for the X-Fi Prelude 7.1 to decode Dolby Digital/DTS via SPDIF-In and if not, is there another way, possibly through modified drivers, that it can do this?

I have also encountered Velbac but would like to keep this as a last resort, as well as the Logitech Z-5500, because I'd prefer to make use of the Prelude's high quality components all the way.

My System Specifications:

Logitech Z-5300
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Windows XP Pro SP2
2 GB DDR2 RAM
XFX 8400 GS 256MB
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz 800 MHz FSB
ASUS P5KPL motherboard

It should be noted that I just built this system as a temporary system to last me until Intel's Nehalem comes out so I can build a proper system. My PC of 6 years just died on me, hence why I'm building a new system.

Appreciate any help that is provided. Thanks!
