I have jsut made my first step into the world of better sound quality by purchasing the Logitech Z5500 system and a creative XFI sound card.
The speakers only came with the orange, black and green jack cables, which for the time being is ok. But i would like to connect my sources to the Logitech Z5500s via better media.
The controller/amp for the speakers has both digital optical and coaxial inputs, but the two items i would like to connect only have optical:
Samsung LE32R87BDX (TOS LINK)
XFI sound card (Mini optical)
Which means im stuck with using the optical input (As i understand it: coaxial > optical > phono), right?
So, I don't know which optical leads do i get?
So far I've found these two on ebay (CLICKY and CLICKY ) or this set from Maplins, which is good as they are just down the road! CLICKY
My setup is obviously not the height of audio pleasure, but i still want to get the best that i can out of it. I'm just not sure it's worth spending mega-bucks on cables for a system that probably doesn't justify them.
Any suggestions?
