SPDIF Coax to 3.5mm Conversion...

    I done got me a set of Boston Acoustic Speakers. They take 3.5mm *digital* input (not TOSlink or Coax, weirdly enough...). Now, my soundcards (Realtek AC97 and an Edirol FA-101) don't have 3.5mm digital out. Just optical and coax.

    So, I need to get a converter from coax digital to 3.5mm digital. Does anyone know if these are available? As far as I know, it would need to be a mono 3.5mm jack on the end.

    By the way, I know that with some Sound Blaster cards you can route the SPDIF signal through the normal stereo out, but there doesn't seem to be an option on either of the soundcards.

    Help would be greatly appreciated! :D

    I've seen those connectors before and I'm not entirely sure, but I'd say it could just be a SPDIF connection - just not in coaxial from. I'd say you just need a cable with a coaxial type connection on your sound card end and a 3.5mm jack on the other.
