Agree to get all used, but optical is silly. I've never known a single other person except myself to use it. And I only use it for 1 specific reason. Also, a lot of receivers dont have Bluetooth but you can get an adapter so cheap online. Id actually wager a receiver with built in Bluetooth is likely shit tbh. (Most consumers gear after 03 ish is shite so try to go older if you can). Or spend more for newer boutique stuff.
Also surround sound is a bit silly in a 300 sq ft room but ydy.
Optical is for device compat. It's extremely versatile. One can cock around with other goofball connections and cabling if ya want, but few things beat an optical signal with is basically immune to EM disruption, and most quality audio and HT equipment support it.
Also please don't talk out of your ass regarding BT on receivers while simultaneously advocating for a cheap BT piece of crap of Amazon lol
Your zeal to shoot down my ideas, which are generalized advice for somebody without too many clues reveals your own lack of knowledge. Stop talking and start learning.
