Receiver + Soundcard

[tcG]

I have a vintage receiver (Sansui G-9000) with the following connections...

See picture

I have the soundcard (AuzenTech XMYSTIQUE) with the following connections...

See picture

Originally, I had planned on using a simple [RCA 2x (Male) --> 3.5mm] adapter connected to the "Line In" jack. This was, of course, before I realized I should be using the optical capabilities of my soundcard, if possible. Assuming one side must be RCA 2x (Male), does anybody know of a cable that would connect to either the Coaxial S/PDIF out or the Optical S/PDIF out on the soundcard?

...or am I completely wrong?

Use analog.

Hello Jello!

You've been so much help to me... and here I am asking for it again.

Analog? Huh?

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Use the 3.5mm to RCA adapter you have. A receiver that old will not have digital input capability.

Thanks...

Oh, and you want to connect to the "front output" on the X-Mystique, not line-in.

It looks like FM Stereo (FM mono functions, though) is borked on this receiver. (not that I care much about radio anyway...)

What about the coaxial out? Is there any way I could utilize that, and if so, would it be better than analog?

your reciever is ONLY capable of ANALOG connections

on the receiver plug the red jack to the R and white to the L on the AUX input

and then BOOYAH SOUND!!!
