I just purchased a new set of Tritton ax 720 headphones. They need a optical input. The issue is that I use them with my 360 and PS3, so instead of swithcing the optical cables I want to run it from my HK 3550 amp so there will be no more switching. There is only a coaxial out but no optical out so I am looking at purchasing a coaxial to optical converter.
My questions are?
Will the coaxial out, output dolby digital as the headphones mimic 5.1 for gaming.
Or...
Do I have another option such as a optical splitter that will accept two input's into one output since I will only ever run one at a time?
Thanks for the response. Just a little more to clear up though. The only thing I can find in the HK manual is that when recording the coaxial will only output PCM. The headphones will only work with dolby digital.
