Optical Switch/Hub

[richiestang_78]

So I just got a Blu ray player for XMas but on my surround sound I'm out of optical inputs and it doesn't support HDMI surround sound. Is there a faily inexpensive switch of some kind out there?

You could use splitters in reveres (from what I understand).

Have a link to one, I tried newegg and cant seem to find anything. Also will i lose any quality or have problems doing it like that?

I'v never actually used a optical splitter at all or ever used a splitter with digital audio. The only thing that might be awkward using this been you have to only have one device turned on at once.

There are things like this (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=35241) but the splitter would be more ideal as you don't have to change stuff all the time.

I think the "will I lose quality in my digital signal if I use <unusual device>?" conversation has been answered too many times lol.
