Hi All,
I have an old set of amplified Boston Acoustics 5.1 speakers that use a 3.5 mm headphone type connector for their digital input. They were made a little before fiberoptic audio cables became common. They still work fine, and I would like to convert them to using a fiberoptic cable instead of coax.
I'm hoping that I can buy a panel mounted fiberoptic audio cable connector that includes the components to convert the optical signal back to electrical digital audio.
I have a fair amount of experience building with and repairing electronics, but I know diddly-squat about digital fiberoptic audio.
Can anyone tell me if such a converter component thingy like this exists, what it's called, and where I might look for it?
Gracious thanks!
Scott C.
