I am in the market for some new speakers, and have my eyes set on a pair of Creative Labs MegaWorks THX 2.1 250D speakers. They have a digital optical input, and I thought this was a great chance to take advantage of using the optical out on my iMac CD. If I go down this route, will the optical output give all system sounds etc, or will I just hear DVD playback sound and sound from other apps like iTunes?
In other words, are there any disadvantages in using digital optical out?
Cheers
