Alright guys, I've actually posted a thread regarding this in audiophile thread but there's no replies from forumers

I believe some of the fellow gamers here do have both PS3 & XBOX360 and are using optical cable to get Dolby Digital Sound from respective consoles.... I am having a problem as my old amplifier only have 1 optical input thus there's no more expansion of another optical input. How do I get around with it? Is there a place where I can get an optical cable splitter somewhere?

Not so sure about the splitter thingie but there are optical selector out there some where.. I have one from Logitech

what amp/receiver ur using?

find an optical to coaxial converter if ur receiver have coaxial in

Bro, I think optical to coaxial needs a converter with adapter... It's quite tedious.

Gundamalpha, mind selling your LOGITECH optical cable selector to me??

I don't think you'd want to buy from me as it's pricey and with lots of function you wouldn't use like S-Video and Scart connectors.. I know they did produce one with optical cable plus component selector, not sure where to find one locally though

im in the same boat as you,Thrust..
two optical cables,only 1 input

tried googling and could only find a switch in the UK

havent found one over here before

Why Malaysia so 'ulu' punya... such simple device and it takes miracles to find it I guess I'll have to sacrifice Dolby Digital sound for either 1 console then cos frequent plug/unplugging the optical cable port might damage the console's port.

The problem is those AV sellers never realized there are other devices that utilize inputs from S-Video and beyond other than DVD/BD players and game sellers don't know many gamers use anything better than composite + stereo cables so it's a situation that left us with so many difficulties

How Much you bought the Logitech Optical Switcher ?

Currently I only have 1 Optical Switch to 3 Optical But don't know what brand

Why don't u guys order from ebay?
Only costs USD 10

I got mine from there.

I bought it back in 2002 from Australia for $99.. roughly RM200 plus back then

oh?
how much?

Bro, they ship to US only ler

There are some that ships to Malaysia..that's how I got mine. If my stupid Streamyx is not so slow, I can do the search for u but Streamyx is very slow for me now..sorry

same case here .. just ordered optical splitter frm futureshop uk .. will post if successful

Bro, is it this??

I dont think it's this that we are needing. This device takes in 1 input so that it can output into 2 difference receivers.

yep .. planning to use it in reverse hopefully it works lol (based on some forums .. only one device supported at one time)

yup it works just make sure to only turn on one device at a time. i have the exact splitter with me rite now.

You can try to go Jalan Pasar(before Jalan Pudu) and find for it in the electronic shops there. I've seen a few sold there before, but don't expect anything high-quality.

My friend bought it last year from ebay. With shipping it cost around RM 40. Now he can switch optical inputs from his PS3, 360 and DVD player into his amp.
