OK, just purchased a new HDTV and wanted the best picture/sound from my XBOX so I bought the monster Gamelink 400 component video cables. On the cable itself is an output jack for connecting a digital optical audio cable to connect with an AV receiver. I tried using my own Acoustic Research optical cable but it doesn't fit at all and keeps slipping out.
On the Monster site they sell an optical cable with a specific adapter, one end plugs into the monster gamelink cable, the other end is a standard toslink connector.
Has anyone found another adapter that will work with this setup? If so where did you get it and what is it called? I really don't want to eat the $20 I spent on this Acoustic Research cable just to buy the specific Monster optical cable.
