The input specs for the Z5500's.
Source Inputs:
Digital optical for DVD or CD players, PlayStation®2, Xbox®**
Digital coaxial for DVD or CD players or PC sound cards (requires coaxial cable, sold separately)
6 channel direct (3 stereo-mini connectors) for 2, 4, or 6 channel PC sound cards OR
6 channel direct (3 stereo-mini connectors) for 3 stereo analog mini audio sources, like CD and DVD players, Playstation 2, Xbox, or 2 channel PC sound cards (somedevices may require stereo mini to dual RCA adapter, sold separately)
Analog stereo-mini (on side panel of control center) for portable CD, MP3,or MiniDisc® players
The optical they talk about is between your source and the amplifier on the speakers, the speakers themselves connect with copper wire to the "amp". This means if you want a smaller setup, it will probably come without the amp that the z5500 come with, meaning no optical.

Optical at speakers would mean that the speakers would need to be powered ... not gonna happen, the amp needs to drive the speakers.

well you never know,this is the future.
Thx for the feedback. haha yes optical cabling for the system would be quite cool $$$ though. I meant from source to amp via optical like the Z5500's. I've settled on the Z5400 which is a little to big still but it's cheaper than the 5500's so I'll just have to find space for them. The Z5400's are being discontinued so you can pick them up for a decent price at the moment.
