optical to coax digital Converter
My Onkyo 787 has 2 optical digital input and 2 coax digital inputs.
Here is my problem:
I just got HDTV w/built in tuner, so now I have:
-DVD player w/optical out
-HDTV w/optical out
-Cable box w/optical out
-400 disk CD player w/optical out
So, I'd like to connect all 4 of my devices digitally, but need a conversion box for two of them, since I ran out of optical inputs.
I did a froogle on "digital to coax Converter" and found these;

Looks like just one model out there, has anyone used it and feedback?
I assume since digital NO losses.
I tried to buy it locally from local RadioShack, specialty HT store, Best Buy, Computer City, nobody stocks it.
from one of the webpage:
"OPTICAL TO COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO CONVERTER. Perfect for Home Theater, Dolby Digital and DTS. Run out of TOSlink inputs on your receiver? This optical to coaxial converter will allow you to connect the TOSlink optical output from your DVD, cable or satellite receiver to a coaxial digital audio input.
