I assume you want a processor or AVR, but why the optical out? Normally the processor or pre amplifier section of the AVR accept signals fromsources and then send that signal to the power amplifier section which then sends the signal to the speakers. You wouldn’t want optical out unless your AVR had a built in source, such as a CD player or streamer, and then you wished to bypass the DAC in your AVR/source and use an external DAC. Can you be more specific about what you are trying to achieve?

@mahler123 - thank you for your reply - great question. I have active speakers (space constrained in a room) and would like to have the visual signal separated from sound from the signal source (vs having to send it out via the TV) |
the speakers only accept some complex protocol of ethernet signals (meridian audio DPS 5200 Special Edition :) ) . It has a streamer which can accept optical in. I've tried other Multimedia processors of meridian with it - never really worked. The only input I am trying to use is hdmi for this. Regular audio input from a turn table works fine where there's no video. |
