I just took my blow 5Ds out of the box only to find that they don't have an optical input. Anyone know where I can find a coax-->optical adaptor?
 
You actually want an optical->coax adapter. Both are available and fairly common, so make sure you get the right thing. Products that do this are available all over the 'net, including eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-CABLES-TO-G...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5186bf6445

That said, if you're trying to connect it to your PC, chances are you already have a header on your motherboard for this and just need to buy the plate with the output jack. Check your manual. If that's the case, you can make one yourself, or they're available dirt cheap. See for example: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=997533

Edit: Monoprice has one too: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=2948&seq=1&format=2

I just have a question about this topic.

My computer has an optical out and my surround sound only has coax in. I ordered the coax>optical on accident. It already shipped after I noticed. Does anyone know if it is possible to make it work the other way around?
The one I ordered looks like the one posted earlier: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10423&cs_id=1042302&p_id=2948&seq=1&format=2
of course its going in reverse.
Thanks!
 
No. The optical part is a transmitter instead of a receiver, so even if you rewired it internally it wouldn't work.
