Connecting from SB Aud. 2 ZS to Logitech Z-5500

I just ordered a Logitech Z-5500 speaker system and I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. My question to you is:

Should I use the 24-bit/192KHz DAC in my sound card and go analog into the logitech's control unit,

Or

Should I go digital out of my sound card and use the 24-bit/96KHz DAC in the logitechs?

My understanding is that an analog connection is more susceptible to signal degradation and/or RFI, but I would be using a better DAC, whereas a digital connection would have almost no signal loss, but the DAC in the logitechs isn't as good as the one in my sound card.

thanks, and happy Thanksgiving.

Try it both ways and see what you think, though I would lean towards using your sound card's DACs.
