Hi, what cables/connectors would you recommend to connect x5 via digital coax out to receiver. I have pioneer sc lx 85 which only has RCA digital coax in, while x5 has 3,5mm headphone style coax out. Any ideas?

For my X3, I just use one of these with a (good) standard coax cable:

It's a digital signal so it shouldn't be overly fussy about the cable/connector - but many audiophiles will disagree with me

The X3 came with a similar converter but it was a short cable. Did you not get one with the X5? I just bought the adapter at the same time as a proper coax cable because I thought it was tidier....and it was really cheap!

thanks a lot, indeed a standard converter was included with the X5 so all i need is a simple digital coax cable.  thanks a lot!

Correct!
 
I hope you'll enjoy your X5's digital out as much as I enjoy my X3's digital out.
