Guys, Anyone know of any reasonably priced 2.1 speaker sets that have a digital optical input? I need to buy a set to hook up to my TV. Yes I know most people will probably say the only time to use the optical is with 5.1 going through an amp and I should just use normal speakers; however I don't need 5.1 and I don't want to have a separate amp. All I need is a set of nice looking (important) speakers that will be an improvement over the crappy built-in speakers in my Samsung TV. I want a set with a digital optical input because the normal headphone socket is on the side of the TV which means having to have the side flap open all the time and a cable sticking out, which looks nasty. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks,
optical output will require a DAC at some point in order to convert the digital signal into anology signal. Therefore any 2.1 speakers would be fine, with a DAC. PC world have got logitech Z-4 for just under £50 and there pretty good, but you will need a DAC.
This has the dac built into the subwoofer http://www.ncixus.com/products/index.php?sku=27404&vpn=S330D&manufacture=EDIFIER by the way is your monitor the samsung touch of color?
So it is possible to find a 2.1 set with digital in. Excellent, thanks! Now to see if I can get these in the UK...... My monitor isn't the Touch of Colour, it's a Syncmaster SM933HD.
