this might be a daft question, but I assume I'll need an 'Xbox -> optical' cable if I'm wanting to plug it into my home cinema amp for Dolby Digital 5.1?
If so anyone know the best place to buy one?
cheers

Just re read and i don't think my answer made much sense
You'll need a av lead there are two that i know of that have spif outputs microsoft one and a game (iirc) branded one, the game one is better in my opinion as it gives lots of outputs including one for projector , you'll then need a optical cable expect to pay 10 quid to 200 quid, i'd go with the tenner

cheers Si,
is it worth upgrading from RCA (my current setup) to Optical - is there really that much of an improvement?
dabs.com seem to be the best for the optical cable at just under £8

Really does depend on what you watch but if it's sci fi stuff, war films, action hell yeah
Main differences between DD/DTS and Prologic is
DTS/DD rear channel seperation, identical rms all speakers and full frequency 20hz - 20khz on former
Prologic no rear seperation (more triangular movement of sound), usually front rms is seperated over both rears (ie fronts 70rms each rears 35rms each), not full frequency.
