Connecting two speaker sets trough s/pdif cable.

Hello, those that used 3.5mm splitter know both devices working at the same time lose a bit of power. I want to know if I use s/pdif splitter will this happen too or they will work normally?

An s/pdif is an optical signal. A splitter is actually an optical device. The optical signal is dropped by the split but the data is unaffected. It is unknown if the split will drop the optical signal too low. It depends on the optical power of the source.

spdif is a digital signal and the audio level is encoded in the digital info. You cannot split optical signals without an active circuit, so level is not affected anyway. An active spdif splitter will not affect the audio level.

Here's an active optical splitter: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13342&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4sXZ5KPy3AIViVcNCh1IoQigEAQYASABEgJG6_D_BwE

I'm assuming your speaker sets each take an optical input?

If not, just use an analog, active splitter. I can look one up for you if you'd like.

It's ok I will find if I need something just wanted to know if s/pdif splitter makes devices lose some power. With 3.5mm splitter speakers get quitter if both work. I am just planning for now. Have Edifier Studio R1280T with Edifier S330D. Want to sell S330D and buy R2800 monitor 8 speakers and then hook up both studio systems with optic cable and splitter so they would play same audio.
