Now you can use your computer style 5.1 surround sound speakers with any digital or analog audio device with the Area 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Decoder from NuclearAV. This is not a simulated surround sound adapter, this is a true 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Decoder capable of decoding many of today's popular DVD, HDTV, Blu-ray, and gaming system's audio signals, and delivering true discrete 5.1 surround sound channels.

Now you can hear the killer sneaking up behind you before he appears on the screen, feel the fighter jets roar around you as they lock into a dog fight, be truly immersed in the big game as if you were actually there!

The 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Decoder utilizes a 24-bit audio DSP, 96 KHz digital receivers, and 192 KHz/24bit ADC and DAC with support for decoding Dolby Digital, AC-3, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, PCM and many other popular digital audio formats.

It easily to connects to HDTV, Blu-Ray, HD Cable Box, PS3, XBOX, and other digital devices via two optical (TOSLINK) input connections or it's single coaxial digital connector. It even features an AUX stereo audio input for connecting any device that uses a 3.5mm headphone style jack, like an iPod, MP3 player, or laptop!
