Looking for optical 5.1 speakers

[Gurran]

I've been looking for a nice set of speakers with fiber optic connection to complement my Asus STRIX SOAR. The price range I'm looking for is between $200 and $350.

I never heard of a product like that. That kind of product would require each and every speaker to have a built in S/PDIF DAC converter and preamp and amp built in.

Good luck with your search.

The Logitech Z906 ought to suit you. 5.1 speakers with built-in amplifier, surround decoder, and multiple inputs (including optical).

Why would it need that? The STRIX SOAR has optic out. The S/PDIF port breaks out with a little rubber adapter. https/www.asus.com/Sound-Cards/STRIX-SOAR/specifications/

I was looking at that one. Thank you. I think I will go for that one.
