The digital output from the XBOX is encoded data and therefore meaningless. You cannot just convert it to analogue. A Dolby Digital bitsream output is a complex compression algorithym that needs to 'decoded' by Dolby Digital hardware prior to conversion to analogue.

The reason I asked is that the Extigy can do it in standalone mode, but it also has a lot of other features that I wouldn't need. I'm just kind surprised that someone hasn't made a standalone Dolby Digital decoder that does nothing else at a cheaper cost

I bought the cheap speakers for my PC originally, which had analog outputs, but have ended up using headphones more often than not (better surround effect in games, when it matters

) so I'd like to put my old ones to good use

What are calling cheap? Acoustic Energy make a kick ass speaker package that's very small, very cool, with a seperate little DD,DTS,DPL decoder. It's called the Aego P5 £600

Dolby digital decoders do exist but may be hard to find since most A/V receivers have them built-in. Are you looking for something like thiis?

decoders are easy to find. As your in the u.k, look in your local cash convertors type store. i pick up a 2nd hand yamaha decoder for £35. bargain. i dont use it now as i have a yamaha rx-v630 a/v amp, but its still being used elsewhere:)
