Another question about these. There is a model that only has analog inputs
(as most do), the red and white RCA jacks. They also have another model that
has digital (both optical and coaxial) inputs, as well as the analog ones.

If one has a computer that has an optical out port, would there really be
any difference in the sound quality of music played from the computer, if
one connected it to the speakers via the optical digital port, rather than
using the soundcard out port for an analog connection (Y cord-one stereo
mini plug in the computer, to the right and left RCA plugs to the
speakers.)?

Is there really an advantage to having digital in ports on speakers?
