Reply to "DC or DCC ?"

What is the Soundtraxx Surround Sound System in O Scale require?. That,in HO,requires the purchase of a Digitrax DCC System,plus an expensive Soundtraxx operating component that hooks up to Digitrax only. Then I'm told that any decoder can be used in the locomotive. The sound speakers are placed in "blocks" depending on the size of the layout,not inside the loco to make the sound appear to move with the locomotive by switching to different block speakers. In HO that'd be a plus do to the small loco size,but is it that important in O Scale?

I'm running DCS,and wish I had more sound,but for the cost as well as the amount of locomotives available from MTH,made the compromise seem practical at the time. That's again,just my 2 cents worth and due to my limited experience in DCS,doesn't count for 2 cents in my opinion. But the sounds are pretty good compared to DC which has nothing almost,kind of like comparing apples and oranges.
