I have a set of Logitech Z-5500 speakers, currently connected to my PC and soon to my Xbox 360 via digital optical cable. Eventually, i will need to connect 2 digital sources to these speakers, both via digital optical.
Now the problem is that these speakers only have one digital optical input and one digital coaxial input.
So my question is would it be better for me to:

1) buy a selector switch, which allows many optical cables to connect to one optical input

or

2) buy a digital optical-to-coaxial converter, which would allow me to use the coaxial input on my speakers.

My other option would be to eventually buy the Z-5400's, which has 2 optical inputs, but if the above options are perfectly ok, then this would be a waste of money. (£130 compared to ~£20)
