I am going to plug my Astro A50 wireless headset mixamp optical cable into a splitter, where one will go into my PS33 and one into my PC, That way I don't have to switch them by unplugging. I will just manually switch the usb from PS3 -> PC to use the microphone. This is a 7.1 virtual surround sound headset.
Just wondering if I need to buy
TOSLink -> Fibre Optic
or Fibre Optic -> TOSLink
or TOSLink -> TOSLink
or Fibre Optic -> Fibre Optic?! S
o confused!

If this were still 1987 when SPDIF was the signal and you had TOSlink as the cable(cause at the time SPDIF and TOSlink had different connectors), yeah...you'd need to know.
But Sony/Philips and Toshiba agreed to a universal standard in 1988.
