If you’re looking for speakers I would recommend one of Klipsch's sets. Watch out for the old Promedia's though, they break all the time. I thought that the only difference between digital and analog speakers was the fact that the digital have a decoder in them and the analog don't. So if you have a good sound card then you don't need digital speakers. But I guess I am going to get slammed for that because it isn’t true (I guess).

Digital speakers come in a couple of varieties.

1: computer
these typically connect via USB, some even firewire

2: Studio Monitors
these use optical or coaxial digital connections.

the advantage is potentially less signal noise. The speakers themselves that can do this have their own DAC to decode the sound. However in most cases in computer speakers, the DACs are crap and the speakers sound better plugged into the headphone jack.

In studio monitor speakers, some mackies handle sound resolution on their DACS up to 192 @ 24 or some insane rate. . .

I believe that "necroposting" is a term that's used on this forum (though I've not seen it elsewhere) to mean the revival of a "dead" topic (hence "necro"-posting). For some odd reason, people don't seem to like it.

Yeah, I guess that would have been a NECROPOST then. Thanks Scintilla.
