Does anybody know where i can buy a long triple aux lead cable? The kind you'd use to connect a sound card to a surround sound setup. Its literately 3 3.5mm connections on each end of the wire. Trying to find a long one (around 5 metres) but having no luck finding any of any size on ebay :/
I bought 3x3.5mm cables off eBay (some fancy metal-ended ones)... they were too wide to be plugged in simultaneously (i.e. where you have 3 in a row, they were so wide that they blocked the neighbouring holes). Ended up modifying them with a dremel (not pretty) - but I'd still like to get the proper cables eventually if I can.
(I don't actually need longer ones, but I bought a second hand set of Z5500's and it didn't come with any)
It's how my PC was wired previously, but after moving house my computer is now the other side of the room, rather then directly next to it.
Got it in one, for my Z5500, seems like it's going to be a bit of a mission to find. Looking on the back of the control pod i just realised theres a free coax port on it, might be easier to use that. But then im not sure if it will transmit 6 channels.
You could get one of these, make sure to buy the silver one directly from amazon and not some reseller, they deliver crap knockoffs. I've used the silver one back when I had a Z5500 and more then one spdif input was needed and it still works to this day. You need to manually switch input every time though.
