Can anyone explain why optical fibre has not been used to transmit the signal from the amplifier to the speakers? Is it not possible or is it because of cost nobody has tried making any?
Amplifier to speaker signals are closer to power than data. Can't use optical to transmit powerCan anyone explain why optical fibre has not been used to transmit the signal from the amplifier to the speakers? Is it not possible or is it because of cost nobody has tried making any?
The signals sent from Amp to speaker is analog signal carrying power. Optical cables can only carry laser coded digital signal, Analog signal/Power can't be transmitted over optical cable.Can anyone explain why optical fibre has not been used to transmit the signal from the amplifier to the speakers?

Most CD players and DAC now-a-days are not having optic fiber link due to some reason. I don't think cost would be the reason. My Marantz Blueray player don't have one.
