It does have an optical output, just not a regular Toslink one.
Some guys are playing with a Panasonic cable (CA-LRD60 ) to see if it works.
There's also an Alpine cable comming out (KWE-610A), just no release date so far.
Can you notice I also want this HU? LOL.

ok it has optical but it is a proprietory cable that is scheduled for june ( wich means august if we are lucky ), but at least it has it.

from the cost of the cable it looks like it will be a full length not an adaptor. ok unless wiring is already done ( of course it is )

toslink never fit the w200 or w205 very well anyway

Darn Alpine. If they say june it will be out next year. Problem #2 I already have toslink ran form my dash to the 701 in the bed of my truck.

Any word on whether the 505 will control the 701. I wont have room the the RUX when I pull out my D-300.

Yes John, the W505 can fully control the H701.
It has almost the same GUI than the W205 when it comes to the H701.

took a look at the panasonic cable and has the 4 pin set like the back of the w505
hope someone can test it soon.

it is a full length cable though so would have to rerun optical cable

Sure Crush.
A good friend of mine already ordered it and should be testing it pretty soon.
He payed $65 for it.
The Alpine cable is still under development, at least that's what an Alpine rep replied, but I don't think it's going to be cheap at all.
It's still wrong that you have to pay at leas $65 for a cable to connect an Alpine HU to an Alpine processor. And it's even more wrong when they have been using the widely available Toslink for a log time.

Yes, John.
"Propietary" 4 plug on one side, Toslink on the other.
And a $4 dlls cables turns into a $65-$100 dlls one.
Way to go Alpine.
This is the cable my friend ordered but from ebay.

So if you are in a bind about running all new fiber optic a female to female toslink adapter will work with a nice wad of the new cable to stuff some where lol! Tied down every six inches of course. Twisted Evil
