What speakers can you connect to A-110?

[jensgabriels]

Hi there

Since DTS doesn't work unless you convert the file to AC3, it got me thinking:

Can you connect a (cheap computer) 5.1 speaker system to the A-110?

Or do only expensive systems work?

You need something that decodes DTS, so nothing too cheap.

But relax firmware will decode soon, and then everyone will stop worrying about.

So just to be correct, they will fix so u can decode DTS with the A-110 in the next firmware?
When is it going to be released?

yes you can connect an active 5.1 speaker system - but the cheapest computer systems do not decode DTS. There is the Logitech Z-5500 which isnt to expensive and works very well.

The A-110 will decode DTS in an upcoming firmware - but if you are just playing through your TV you still may want to consider something like the Z-5500 to get much better sound with full surround mode.

At approximately twice the price of the popcornhour I would disagree that it's cheap.

Nice system mind, believe it's THX certified.

Still, I am told it will be in the next A110 firmware, not 100% but I hope so, they are obviously getting a lot of bad press and 50% of the questions on the forum are related to the DTS decoding.

They definitely have received the code from sigma to do it.

I didnt say it was cheap - I said it wasnt to expensive
And In my country the Z-5500 system actually cost less than one A-110

I paid twice the cost of the A-100 for the Logitech Z-5500, but I am really happy with it.
