I want to use spfdif. I'll be using a Roku Soundbridge that has both optical and coaxial out.

I have a digital coaxial cable that has rca connectors on both ends.

Do I need an adapter or cable of some kind?

If I need an adapter, where can I buy it. A link would be great.

If I need a cable, what kind of cable do I need and what kind of termination on both ends of the cable?

Where can I buy the cable that I need? A link to buy the cable would be great.

Bluetooth, USB, and Line-in works great, especially for $20 clearance.

Thanks in advance.

Roku Soundbridge has a coaxial SPDIF output, you have a coaxial SPDIF cable, and the Big Blue Amp has a coaxial SPDIF input. Seems to me like you already have everything you need. Were you not able to get that working?

That is correct. But, the Big Blue Amp has 3.5mm SPDIF input jack. Therefore, that's why I asked, what kind of cable and/or adapter do I need to connect my Roku Soundbridge coaxial SPDIF RCA output to 3.5mm Big Blue Amp coaxial SPDIF input?

I'm thinking I need a female rca to 3.5mm mono adapter? Is that correct?

Or a Fiio L21 digital coaxial cable terminated with RCA to 3.5mm TRRS plug? Is that correct?
