DDL *IS* a subset of Dolby Home Theater v4. The picture is a screen capture of my computer. I don't want to buy something that would'nt do exactly what I need ! I am used to weird projects, it's a hobby. Then put all this together in a case, with just a USB socket for input, 5 speaker terminals, a 9-pin mini-DIN socket for the headphone, and a AC socket to power this. I will have to destroy the Xonar case, pick up the PCB, unsolder terminals and rotary encoder, etc. I own such a headphone, with true - *not" fake - surround. I want to use its PCB in a larger project, including class -D 5 channel amplifier for Hi-Fi speakers, and a decent 5 channel headphone amp. In fact, I do not intend to use a USB sound card as is. DDL, AFAIK, is needed only to redirect 5.1 channels to S/PDIF (very low bandwidth). So, DDL is probably not needed for use through analogue outputs with USB 2.0. S/PDIF bandwidth is insufficient, and this is the reason why DDL is needed with this interface : compression, this is what does DDL on the fly.

USB 2.0 + ASIO drivers can transmit 6 channels. But I am not really familiar with sound on PC. As far as surround channels come from a game and go to the analog sockets, it will do the trick. But DDL support is maybe not required for surround gaming in another review, I can see the control panel with ASIO control panel and surround volume settings. This is not in the specs, and the DDL logo appears nowhere on the packaging. Well, good news everyone, the Xonar U7 does support DDL.". It depends on who got the best deal for the algorithms from Dolby. On, the reviewer writes a paragraph about DDL, and concludes : "Nowadays, you’re hit or miss for surround encoding, some on-board audio chips support it, and some discreet audio cards support it. This is the reason why I am wondering if this soundcard can be used on different systems ! I will contact this reseller ASAP.

on a reseller's website, I read that a registration could be needed to use the software / hardware. I asked for this information here because such a question is non answered on Asus forums ("how to activate DDL with Xonar U7").

I am *not* interested in virtual surround ! I have 2 questions : 1 - does Xonar U7 come with Dolby Digital Live encoder ? 2 - if it comes with, can it be installed and used on more than one PC, as I need to use the sound card on at least 2 PCs ? for example, for Sound Blaster X-Fi, DDL & DTS Connect have to be purchased as an option on Dolby Laboratories website but I am not interested in Creative USB soundcard (X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro SBX) as many users complain with drivers
Just virtualization, equalization, and all those crappy digital signal processing softwares that make you think you live in a bathroom. "Through S/PDIF-Out it will deliver stereo PCM and use DDL for 5.1 channel." This is the only evocation of DDL.
"Connects to the surround channel input on 4/5.1/7.1 powered analog speakers. It can passthrough already encoded signals.
Connects to an external digital decoder or digital speaker systems, Home Theater systems, AV receivers for outputting digital audio including PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, etc." > OK. In the owners manual, I found these informations : "Coaxial digital output port. Asus does not advertise this functionality. Hello, I need an external *USB* sound card with these specifications : - USB input ! - 5.1 analog output - S/PDIF output - Dolby decoding - and, very important, must come with a Dolby Digital Live (DDL) encoder The only card I found that meets these requirements is the Asus Xonar U7.
