Toslink Splitter

[LikeCoiledSteel]

Hi Everyone,
I am interested to know if anyone knows if there is a toslink splitter available on the market. I use a universal player (Denon 2900) with only 1 optical output. I would like to send it to 2 components (outboard Dac, ht preamp).

I would like to avoid the coaxial output due to ground loops. I have seen 1 switchbox at Radio Shack but was hoping for something a little better. Thanks

The only one I have ever seen was at Radio Shack,too.

There are others around. Just Google the term and you'll get plenty to investigate. Can't say whether or not any of them actually work better than the RS model...

I'm not sure if another one exist though, someone else must make one too. I have used the radio shack one in my system before. I had solid results from it. No notice in sound change. And the unit functioned as advertised. No quality issues either.

Rather than a splitter, what you are talking about is technically a distribution amplifier, and if you google "toslink distribution amplifier" you will turn up dozens in many price ranges and flavors, like this $40 4 for 1 model:

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the info and the link. I will have to do some more research. Toslink looks to be the best answer for ground loops. Thanks again.
