RE: SPDIF Audio? What Cable do I use?

When referring to "digital audio"

SPDIF, what is it?

What cable do I use?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/6-PRO-8-0mm-Serie...QQcmdZViewItem
Is this the right cable?

The port is a square shape with 2 doors that split open in the middle.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a Toslink cable.

SPDIF basically just refers to the digital audio format in general. The two options are digital coax or digital optical. Your situation is a digital optical and the TOSLink cable you linked should work just fine.
