On www.conrad.de you can find an 'opto-koax' and an 'koax-opto' changer. It
costs 19,95 Euro and one is called OPTO-KOAX Wandler POF-830. They also have
an KOAX-OPTO Wandler. If someone will try this please report if it works.
What do you think is better? Using an OPTO-KOAX and turning the Optical
Signal in an Coax Signal and the connecting it to the JBR or KOAX-OPTO and
Turning the JBR into Optical and connecting it to my HiFi System?

Here is a link to the Manual :

l-Opto-Koax_Wandler_POF_830_de-en.pdf

Is it possible to turn the 'small' connector from the JBR into a usual Coax
connection? Or am I losing signals (mono/stereo)? I don't know the words in
english but I hope you understood what I wanted to ask...

A description of the thing is here :

You have to copy and paste this short link a few times ;-)

Have a nice evening
