Can i use this cable to connect output of Airport Express "Analog/Optical Audio Jack" and the other end to Amplifier "Optical Digital" for airplay?

Yes, you sure can as long as the amplifier has an optical digital input. I use it to connect an airport express to a pioneer receiver and it works great.

Hi Zachary ... Appears this is not what you want. [I am unclear if an Airport Express can be powered via USB and not its own power adapter.] This specifically is a USB-to-serial data cable with a built in UART chip. There can be very low levels of 3.3v or 5v generated (varies with various models) but that's not gonna drive a whole big device like Airport - more to drive one or two chips on a small board. This is designed for making your USB-equipped PC - desktop or laptop - look like it has a built-in COMn: serial port. FYI, "TTL" means transitor-to-transistor logic levels (meaning 5VDC), and Tx & Rx are the UART lines for transmitted & received serial data at logic level (not +/- 10+ VDC swing used by actual RS232 line levels).

This is compatible with any device with a separate audio output. In the case of optical cables, I would suggest using separate optical cables rather than switching back and forth every time you decide to switch systems. Especially since optical cables are sensitive to dirt and wear and tear.

No you don't. This particular thick heavy duty Mediabridge cable should be used for connecting a receiver or amplifier to a powered subwoofer. For your particular situation, you need plain old left and right stereo audio cables of the length you need for connection. Mediabridge has those available.

I'm not clear on how or with what you want to connect.. I can tell you I bought this item to connect my Apple TV 2 to my projector and it works great even with airplay...

You must use the optical port. The 3.5mm output is for any additional headphones you wish to connect.

The A/D cable does not work in both directions - the signal flow must be *from* the audio end *to* the USB end. That means you can not play out through your USB jack using this cable. You will need a D/A box to play out from your USB port to your speakers, and probably an amp as well (unless your speakers are powered). You can find these little guys branded as external USB sound cards, typically for under $50. Some of the nicer ones have gain and processing controls, but most will have an 1/8" TRS jack rather than RCA or full size phono jacks. When you go looking for a solution, remember to consider all the connections you'll have to make as well as power considerations.

Hello, Yes that should be able to work with that setup. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

If using analog, yes. But if you are using optical out for example to your receiver, then the answer is no. You can only use 1 type of output at a time.

The cable will connect, but I'm not sure inputting into an output source will work the way you want

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

No. That's what I was panning on doing but it's the wrong cable. The small ends fits into a headphone jack, but it is a 3.5mm optical connection.

I don't think so. I recently moved and tried to use this for AirPlay before my internet and wifi was installed and it wouldn't work. This model is really old, the past few OSes won't even allow you to configure it. I highly suggest getting an Express that is more up to date.

Well, i mean, the only reason I want to use the analog connectors is because I think I'll be able to get TrueHD and DTS-Master audio if I do it that way, instead of using my fiber optic cable or coaxle cable. Is this true??

It will amplify anything with a digital optical cable, but to use air play you must buy the Airport express. The new airport express does not acully set on top like the picture shows but still works great well worth the money. Enjoy!

This is a toslink cable, if your Aux interface is not digital toslink type, it will not work.

This adaptor converts one end of a TOSlink cable (one form of S/PDIF) into a mini-TOSlink plug. Even though it looks a little like a 3.5mm jack, it's still an optical signal, so what ever you plan to plug it into has to be capable of receiving optical S/PDIF in its 3.5mm jack. For example Apple MacBooks have been capable of this for years. It doesn't convert optical/digital signal to analog sound.
