When I need 300m interconnects, then I'll consider optical transmission. But as a replacement for conventional audio ICs, no thank you. I've put too much effort into minimizing the number of components in my signal path to even think about these things.I can't imagine anybody wanting to introduce two more _active_ components into the chain, especially ones that do electro-optical conversion. And especially people with systems at a performance level where they're worried about crimping vs. soldering, Bullet vs. Nextgen, etc.
