It really keeps me wondering why most of manufacturers just decided that nobody needs SPDI/F anymore.
Pass-through HDMI sucks most of times, and multi channel setup in Windows via HDMI sucks even harder.
I really hope they don't ditch optical out for good. Even some Z370 and X470 boards don't have it anymore.

I agree with you but also in these day it's hard to find an amp with optical in or out... even on specialised brand.
it's the end of an era

The ease of use of SPDIF optical is fantastic, however, it is a limited connector, the bandwidth cannot transport anything more than Dolby and DTS 5.1. With audio moving towards DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD, Atmos etc you will need HDMI.

I noticed that eventhough there's SPDIF out, they don't have DTS connect or Dolby Digital support.
Only certain high and MBs have them.
