    I really must suggest that if you are only looking to connect to your receiver, you get a cheap optical converter such as the Onkyo UD-5 (opt out only), I paid ~$5 a piece for them and they work excellently. Just plug into a usb port and you are done. KEEP IN MIND digital output uses the...

    Not too bad for $20 shipped....Chess and shots in one.

    At first I thought this was a decent quality (the king is the tallest piece at 105mm) but then I looked closely and it looks like all the pieces are the same size and the volumes are the same. Anyone care to comment on the value of 32 shot glasses for $21? Geoff (edit shot not short)
