I was wondering whether there is a switch which would allow me to connect two coaxial digital cables or two optical digital cables to my receiver?

There sure is .... Radio Shack just mailed me their catalogue and RS makes an optical / toslink switch p/n 4209569 $CDN 69.99.


As for the coax - I am pretty sure you can use a generic RCA jack type switch. What I found interesting is that RS also sells devices that change the coax to Toslink and vice versa.


Hope this helps - I haven't tried the above devices as my receiver has enough digital inputs for my sources.

Thanks a lot. I will check it out.

I have an Audio Authority model 1177 It will let you connect 4 devices optical or coaxle in any combination. It outputs in both formats . It is an auto switcher too. I am very pleased with it.

I have the choice of connecting my Sony DVD 9000ES to the Lexicon MC-1 by either Toslink or digital coax


which will yield the best sound -- and I am assuming digital is better than analogue for the connection to the MC-1
