Are there any computer speakers, with integrated high-quality DACs and amps, in a self-contained unit, that don't require an expensive receiver, and plug directly into either a coax or optical digital output from your motherboard?
I don't really want to spend heavy on a receiver, amp, and separate speakers.
Are there any that sound "decent"? Better than analog speakers connected to the onboard audio's analog outputs?
Edit: I found this one, it was the only 5.1 system listed under Computer Speakers in Newegg, that explicitly mentioned coax and optical digital connections. A little pricey for me though. I was thinking of something under $200, if possible.

Edit: Oh, and that wimpy AC power cord on the sub/main amp module, doesn't look like it will handle 500W to me, seems a pretty thin cord for 500W.
