Hello Everyone, i am a beginner in the world of Audio and i am trying to get the best sound quality for a long time. But i have a problem wich i just cant solve. However after reading alot of information on audioholics.com i am now whondering if its really a issue. I am trying to find a Optical Audio Cable wich supports 24BITS 192KHZ audio quality on my computer. Let me tell you what equipment i got so that mabey you people can tell what i am doing wrong and such.


Speaker set : Logitec Z5500
Motherboard : Asus Rampage 2 Soundcard: SupremeFX X-Fi, 7.1 channel surround
Cable: M1000 High Resolution Digital Fiber Optic Cable

I hope by giving this information that you people can help me out.

Thank you for your time reading this.
*Does anyone know what software i can use to improve my sound quality?

What's your problem? In any case, I would doubt it's your cable.

This is from logitech web site:
http://www.logitech.com/speakers-audio/home-pc-speakers/devices/224
Specs tab:

Supported digital formats:
Dolby Digital
DTS and DTS 96/24 e
PCM (uncompressed stereo): 44.1 kHz / 16 bit through 96 kHz / 24 bit

Aka 192Khz/24bit digital format is not supported by your speakers system, and honesly even it would be supported - you'd never able to tell the difference b'ween 96/24 and 192/24 on these speakers.

Just my 2c. Any optical cable should be able to pass 192/24 over reasonable (short) distance...

Ah thank you for your reply BoredSysAdmin.
The strange thing is: Me and a old friend of mine both lived in the same house and we both had a Logitec Z-5500 and he had his speakers on a COAX and he did listened on 24bits 192Khz. What i am also whondering is if its mabey becouse i use a toslink instead of a coax that i cant get a 192khz but i do think u are right about that i won't hear the difference on a Logitec Z-5500

Toslink and Coax cables use the exact same protocol - S/PDIF.

S/PDIF does not support 24/192.
