V3 with optical mod by Grace (update)

[svenkid]

Hey all
another confused jb3'er
I just got my V3 back from grace, and honestly, it looks the same to me
Im not sure what the optical part is supposed to look like

then I got this from cascade media
http://www.cascademedia.net/products.asp?catid=142&prodid=779

and I can't even see how this fits in the jb3, let alone the v3




Ill post some pics if that would help clarify

The V3 opti-mod's optical output is just above the S/PDIF coax output.  It has a sliding door that will open as you push in the cable.  The V3 and the cable you linked both have toslink connectors - V3 female, cable male.  The JB3 has a mini female optical connector.  So, you need an adapter to change the other end of the cable's male toslink connector to a mini male connector.  Check the Cables forum for other optical cables and/or adapter options, starting with this one:

I think Grace didn't do anything to it, cause neither end of my cable can fit into it

That does NOT have the optical mod.

It was 195, but I had to add 20 bucks for expediated shipping back to me, and I overnight fedexed it (~45 bucks), cause I *wanted* to use it at a slip show this thurs, and I wanted to make sure it got back to me by then

and on top of all this, frank sent me a female/female toslink cable
