sp/dif doodar...

[streetster]

seeing as my asus mobo is incompatible with the gig of twinmos i've just bought, i might start using my shuttle as my main rig... however it has an optical sp/dif output on the front, whereas my speakers have a coaxial-type spdif (which i've got on my asus board)... so is there some kind of adaptor or thing which means i can use my speakers with the shuttle...

ebuyer have http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...uid=43693]that but i dont know if the pin outs are the same as the pinouts on the shuttle motherboard but it might be what i want and its only £3...

any ideas people?

I own a mnidisc deck that has its own DAC, and can also convert from optical to coaxial.

Maybe youve got some hime cinema or stereo equipment that you havent thought to look at?

just an idea.

EDIT:

also, its worth checking what type of spdif(s) you have as there are serveral different transmission types, and you may need a converter to change the type
