Curious if anyone knows if a SPDIF Y connector exists? My stand alone CD-R burner has one SPDIF in and I would like to hook up two sources without having to pull everything out of my rack to make changes between the two.

Any help appreciated!

Nope- those are all a different kind of coax jack. RCA not Composite Video- although the impedance of the whole cable is spec'd out the same as video cable (S-Video that also use the RCA ends): 75 ohms.

OUCH! that sound rather painful!

I leave two S/PDIF cables plugged into GINA all the time and just move the other ends of the cables when I need a different source or destination. If you're doing a lot of this I suggest a gold-plated plug on your S/PDIF cables.

An A/B switch that you wire up yourself would probably do the trick.
