6.2.3 SPDIF Out/DDL/DTS Interactive
Xonar D2 is capable of outputting Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive, which
are real-time encoders that transcode any audio, including games and music, into
industry-standard Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 bit-streams on-the-fly. This is ideal for
playback through a home theater system, creating an immersive and impressive
cinema surround sound experience. It enables a single digital connection to
carry high quality Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 surround audio from your PC to digital
speakers and AV Receivers.
