Difference between the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 & Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-

I've had the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5. System for years now for my PC with a Sound Blaster card, and I just got a MacBook.
http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/promedia-ultra-5-.aspx
I've asked on the Klipsch message board about a digital decoder. I was recommended the Creative Decoder DDTS-00
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=36&product=9468
but I also found the Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60 for less money, any idea what the difference between the two would be?

No, for the reason mentionned in the stickies. But since you seems not knowing much on digital sound let me explain.
Digital means it's coded with 0 and , and therefor only cable is sufficient. You might know there is many sound formats for home cinema, like Dolby Digital and DTS. And a digital decoder need to be input a compatible sound stream to be able to decode it. Which means the soundcard MUST be able to convert it's output sound in one receiver compatible format.
Creative cards cannot do this kind of thing.
Another thing: current home theater sound format are limited to 6. (DD-EX and DTS-ES). So you would not be able to achieve more than 6..
THX isn't a sound format, only a certification. The THX calibrator is a must have component to correctly calibrate your speakers to enhance you sound experience.
If you need to have TRUE surround up to 7. channels you don't need to use digital connection because it's simply useless.

  • Difference between the Creative Cloud versions of any of the software and the non-CC version

    For example, PhotoShop is liaded on my hard drive and/but I an using the CC version.

    I have looked through the prefs for Bridge CC. Can you show me a screen shot where that is? I also tried "getting info" on photo in Finder and selecting Photoshop CC and clicking to confirm all files to open in CC. It shifts right back to CS6.

  • Creative Decoder DDTS 100,

    Hello,
    I.m using a creative decoder DDTS 100. When i switch on the decoder i set the volume, in which mode it should be, the volume of center and rear speakers. My problem over here when i switch off and switch on the decoder it comes to the default setting. What i want is my settings needed to be saved each time time i switch off and should come up with the same setting when i power on. Please provide me with a solution for this.
    Thank you.

    hi,

    if you are intertested i can list the item on ebay with a price that we can arrange for you to buy and i will post it off to you. where are you?

  • Creative Decoder DDTS-100 parts list ??

    'Creative Decoder DDTS-100 parts list mspecifially the value for the capacitor "C06 "? this one is at the front of the unit.
    or if any one still has a working DDTS-100, and they don't mind taking it apart to read the value of this cap, that would also work as well.
    also, maybe? some one could also help me with the issue i have. regardless of the source, both headphone jacks on the front work as they should, the issue is with the audio outputs on the back, center/sub, rears , and the front right, no sound output, the front left, has sound output but it is very faint only can be heard when all volumes are set to max. could this be releated to the possible missing capacitor, C06 ? or could this be related to something internal, like one of the wire connectors that connect each board to each other ?
    ANY help would be awesome, thanks :-)

  • Connecting to my T6060 5.1 speakers with a DVD player thru Decoder DDTS-100

    Hi, I have a DVD player which has 2.1 audio output (left and right), a coaxial and an optical audio output. Can you tell me how to connect the creative T6060 (5.1) speakers with the DVD player. Can I connect the speaker with the DVD player with the decoder DDTS-100 to get 5.1 effect. Will the speakers would be working. Thanks,Jwell

    Your speakers should have a cable with 3 plugs on the end (orange, green and black). That plugs into the matching sockets on the DDTS-100, and you set the switch to 5.1. Then you need a lead to connect the dvd and its up to you if its coaxial or optical. For coaxial you can use pretty much any phono to phono lead, which you may already have. Ive got a feeling the DDTS-100 comes with one of each anyway. Thats all there is to it.

  • What's the difference between the Zen Micro 2.11.02 Beta and the Finished Vers

    What's the difference between the beta version and the finished version of the PlaysForSure firmware on the micro... I'm considering upgrading tonight... but I have 5GB's of music files on my micro... some that I added to it with Napster synching, some that I added with Windows Media Player... and some that I added with Creative Media Source. It's going to be a pain to reload all of them... I haven't had any problems with the beta 2..02... my feelings are, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... and seriously, I've been hearing nothing but bad things about the new firmware editions.

  • Difference between CASE and DECODE

    Hi All,
    Could you please explain me the basic differences between the CASE and DECODE, which performs fast...?
    DECODE is Oracle one, and the CASE is ANSI standard.
    As per my knowledge, CASE is a statement and DECODE is a function which was defined in the Standard package.
    If we use DECODE, the package has to load first, so it will take a little longer than the CASE. CASE is a simple statement which is ANSI standard.
    We can use the CASE in the where clause and can not use the DECODE in the where clause.
    Please clarify me and correct me if anything wrong.
    Thanks,

    IMO, the main important point is the way CASE and DECODE handles NULL

  • Pls tell me difference between case and decode

    Hi all
    pls tell me difference between case and decode
    regards

    Well not entirely true when you consider working with
    sign and decode together. Your example could be
    written with decode and sign like this:
    decode(sign(sal-1000),1,sal+comm,-1,sal,0)But the case expression reads more easily, I admit.Rob it was just example you considered it special case ,BTW can you do it for me by DECODE function.
    SQL> SELECT sal,comm,CASE WHEN sal>1000 AND sal<1300 THEN sal+comm ELSE 0 END

  • 10.4.6 updaters for IiMac. What's the difference between the choices?

    It seems there are 3 choices for this update:
    1) Going through the "software update" pulldown menu on my desktop which is about 100mb
    2) On the "apple downloads" page there is one that is 163mb that seems appropriate and
    3) a "combo" version that is 191mb that also seems appropriate
    I simply used the one from the pulldown menu on my desktop, but what is the difference between the 3 and are there advantages/disadvantages to any specific method or version so for the next time there is an update i pick the more "appropriate" version?
    Thanks

    just choose "software update" from your "system preferences" to do the job. It checks your system and chooses teh updates that might be needed. It's probably because you own an "intel mac' the update in software update is only 100 mb. You don't need the combo therefore (combo for 'intel macs' and 'old macs').

  • Decoder ddts-100 found

    Hey all, I just thought that you all might want to know that I found a website that has the decoder ddts-100 for sale. According to the site there are 67 in stock. http://www.thenerds.net/index.php?pa...de=2-3477390-2 this is the website to go straight to the decoder.

    Yes and Yes. I've found that it sounds better though to simply copy the front channels to the rear, which neither of those matrix modes will do. Your best bet though is to get a sound card that does dolby digital li've encoding such as the auzentech xplosion or ht omega striker.

  • What's the difference between the TVSU and TVUR+TI?

    What's the difference between the TVSU and TVUR?
    I got 3 critical, 17 recommand and 23 optional updates, when I use TVSU.
    But I got 2 critical, 17 recommand and 19 optional updates, when I use TVUR combined with ThinInstaller.
    It seens missing 1 critical update and couple optional updates.
    Also, my bluetooth led indicator is off all the time, no matter my bluetooth is on or not.
    Because the led indicator is off when my bluetooth connected and transmited files to other BT device. 
    I am 100% sure the led indicator is off when the bluetooth is on.
    I got this fixed when I use TVSU. It fixed it automatically.
    But now, I can't fix it.
