Why didn't my dell tower come with floppy drive?

One other aspect that is being ignored - the digital output support 5.1 surround sound (with compatible receiver) with one simple cable connection. To do that with analog requires 6 RCA jacks, and a bundle of 6 cables. Most consumers would probably prefer once cable connection to six.

I wish I could find a true digital to 5.1 analog converter (the ones I see are supposedly a 'simulated' surround sound). That way, I could use a few inexpensive discreet amplifiers, and not have all my eggs in one basket. I have had a few modern receivers die on me, with all their computer controlled integrated systems, they are near impossible to repair. One component failure and the whole thing goes to recycling.

I myself may look for a smaller receiver/amp or sound bar with toslink.

I'm actually fine with my older receiver(glad it had an optical port). Might be a little bigger than some of the brand new one's but fits in a slot in my media cabinet under the TV. Pushes my speakers with a good sound. Although it would have been nice if the TV had additional outputs...in the end the solution was fairly simple. I think the TV has a pretty decent picture.
