These cheap TOSlink Optical to COAX Coaxial Digital (S/PDIF) Audio Converters are available on eBay (link below). Anyone use them or know if they are any good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Optical-Toslink-Coaxial-RCA-Digital-Audio-Converter-/370449109413?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item56407cd1a5

Or should I step up to a more expensive M-Audio converter (link below) to preserve digital audio quality? Would it make a big difference?

Thanks,

Phillip

I have a Hosa converter that I could probably part with...  let me know if you're interested and we'll talk.
I'm not familiar with the one that you have listed above, but I do know that some of the cheaper converters are NOT bit perfect upon conversion.  Something to keep in mind if bit-for-bit conversion is needed.
.....got a blank space where my mind should be.....

Hi,
I'm interested and have sent you a PM.

Let me know if you still want to sell and what your price is.

Thanks.
