Speakers with S/PDIF in?

[mdavey]

Hi,

I am looking for some inexpensive powered speakers that have a S/PDIF input, ideally with the following specification:

* optical S/PDIF input (TOSlink or Photolink)
* Inexpensive (ideally <$70 or <£50)
* 2.1 configuration
* Look good next to a Mac mini
* Available in the UK

Any suggestions or recommendations?

SPDIF stands for Sony Philips Digital InterFace.
Its the same thing as digital audio through coaxial cable.

Yea, I should add that I want something with TOSlink optical or 3.5mm optical {photolink} connection, rather than copper coax.

Some of the Logitech top end 5.1 sets have TOSLink in and a control pod with the decoding circuitry for 5.1.

The only S/PDIF in speakers I know off the top of my head are some Edirol and Roland studio monitors. I've only ever seen this type in professional . studio settings.

A speaker with digital inputs will have to have its own amplifier and digital/analog conversion built in, of course.
