I know that speakers are analog, the reason I'm upset that there is no digital input is that from what I understand you need 6 cables going from the computer to the speakers, at least it says 6 analog inputs on what I read whereas if it had a digital input it would just be 1 wire. Also my soundblaster live 5.1 only has a front and rear out...although suspiciously it has another place towards the tope that has the number 3 by it which would indicate it could take a speaker...or maybe it's just a line in. That is what concerns me. Thanks for your time. michael

I was looking at the pics and reading some of the press releases and it seems that the new 5.1 system doesn't have a digital input. that is kinda sad. It apparently from what I've seen only has 6 analog inputs. I guess us SB live owners will have to buy splitters for it to get all the lines connected. Am I wrong here, if so please correct me.
