Hallo,

I'm slowly building a hi-fi surround system around
Trends Audio products. They
have a nice, little, stereo usb DAC. I am really only looking at wanting 4
channels for now. I have something like 8 usb2 ports on this computer so i
have plenty.
Can i have my player (xine or mplayer or what have you) decode the signal be
it dolby digital, dts, or the blu-ray formats (ha) into channels and then send
(right and left) out of one usb port and (right rear and left rear) out of a
second usb port to a pair of these stereo DACs. I assume if i eventually
wanted an 8 channel system i could so the same thing with more channels?
To make a long story short: Forget it!
Google "el cheapo soundcard" for the long story.
It's better to invest in a real multi channel soundcard, something like
the M-Audio Delta 1010.
Ciao
