Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Digital Speakers needed for Digital Out?

As previously stated, "digital speakers" is an oxymoron. You may store an audio stream digitally, but somewhere, that stream needs to be decoded into analog electrical current and then sent to the speakers, where that energy is converted from electrical to mechanical via the speaker cone & magnets, in order to be heard.
