Reply is a little late.

No. But you have to remember that the digital camera is recording, the 'digital enhanced' speaker is playing back. Metaphorically, if you buy into the logic for ‘digitally optimized speaker’, you would have to optimize your eye to view a digital photograph. I hope that made sense.

Perhaps a better metaphor would be the speaker=photographic paper. Either way it makes no sense. At that end of the process, you need something to reproduce a sinusoidal waveform, not a bunch of bits.

Quite frankly, I’d be terrified of a speaker which could faithfully translate from digital to something useful for your ear. Between the sub/ultrasonic artifacts, I suspect it would be a really uncomfortable experience.

And this from a guy who makes a heck of a living herding bits.
