Optical to digital coax converter


Hi everyone,
I just purchased optical to digital coax converter, so I can play Sirius XM
radio through my audio gear.This unit is connected to dish sat. I do not
have a digital coax at the moment, so I tried using interconnect cable instead. When I turn everything on, all I hear is high frequency clicking
from the speakers. What could be the problem? Are the cables the culprit or something else?
I should mention that indicator light comes on, telling me that the
signal is locked in. If any of you have any idea , I would appreciate
hearing from you.
I thank you ahead for your response.
Regards,
Rod

Sorry...are you saying you are taking the signal from your digital radio directly into your preamp? perhaps you are taking a digital signal and trying to put it thru an analogue input in your preamp?
This may be a stupid question, but do you have a digital input on your audio gear? It sounds as if you have a digital optical to digital coax converter, so you would still need to plug into a digital input.
Ok, this is how it's connected: audio optical output from tv satellite dish>optical cable>optical to digital coax converter>audio interconnect
cable[not digital]>digital coax input on D/A converter>preamp.
Hope this will give you better insight of what is happening here.
Thanks again for you input.
