    SPDIF (Coaxial) Switch box?

     
    Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but wondering if anyone knows of any SPDIF Coaxial Switch boxes or devices?

    scenario, 2 PC's in one room, each with Coaxial audio Outputs, one Home Theater Receiver with a single Coax Input.

    I could just use Optical on one, Coax on the other, but I've always encountered on 3 different PC's slight delay issues in sound with Optical, and would rather just use Coaxial SPDIF out, just switch to which ever PC I'm using. as it is I am using an HDMI selector for video output right now.

    the biggest limiting factor is price too, preferably something WELL under $50, preferably under $30 if its possible.

    But any suggestions or anyone know of any device that would do what I need?

    2 SPDIF Coaxial Outputs to a single Coaxial input for the receiver.

    Any simple coaxial switch should work

    so something cheap like this Newegg.com - StarTech Converge A/V 4-to-1 Component YPbPr A/V Switch CPNT410IR Component Interface - TV Tuners & Video Devices

    should work, just plugging in the Coax cables and then switch from one device to the next, with out any video signal?

    Yes, but that one isn't getting all that great reviews.
