SPDIF Out / DTS Interactive
Xonar DS is capable of outputting DTS Interactive, which are real-time encoders 
that transcode any audio, including games and music, into industry-standard DTS 
Digital bit-streams on-the-fly. This is ideal for playback through a home theater 
system, creating an immersive and impressive cinema surround sound experience. 
It enables a single digital connection to carry high quality DTS surround audio from 
your PC to digital speakers and AV Receivers.
