Yeah.. you most definately need the Audio Tornado for the decoding. However, on a side note, it really isn't worth it to buy the audio tornado if you were simply going to use it for your PS2. The playstation 2 only has around 3 games that support surround sound (only Fantavision I can think of at the moment), and there really are no plans for further mainstreaming of the technology in PS2 games. Hell, for a bit more than the price of the audio tornado, you could just buy yourself a Klipsch 2.1 exclusively for your PS2. And in case you didn't know =p, if you run digital out on a game that doesn't support it, you just won't get any sound.
