Hello,

I bought an Edifier R1850DB recently (on the way) and noticed that it has an optical input. I currently use a laptop without any optical out. Is there any significant benefit to using an optical connection? If yes, should I get one of those USB to TOSLINK adapters?

I primarily use the speakers for music, movies and games.

I am new to the hobby, and this might be a very dumb question. Apologies.
