Can anyone recommend or have any experience with a converter that will convert a coax digital sound output to an optical stream? I have an HDTV STB that has only Coax Digital 5.1 out, but my receiver deosn't have any Coax inputs, but I do have a spare Optical input on the receiver. Any information would be appreciated.

Check out this link. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and you'll see an adapter for about $16.

Thanks Steve,


Have you used this product or know anyone who has. I have seen a similar item for like $80. Do you think the higher price means it does a better job?

I, in fact, use this exact same product. It works great! No drops of any kind. Frankly a device like this is either going to work, or it's not....It does.
