I want to use two logitech Z906 both with my pc with digital optical cable from mobo S/pdif at same time. Did some research i find out about splitter (1x3) (one input three output). my system will go one output from the mobo and they will go two input to the sound system.

My question is if i use Splitter the sound quality/frequency will divide ??? or they will be the same ??? suppose if i use one sound system, which will give me the sound quality, so when i use two sound system with Splitter, will i get same frequency/same sound quality ??? I need same accurate full pure sound quality at same time from both of them. I am worried about the sound quality cause one mobo can provide one 5.1 or 7.1 system. but i want to use two 5.1 sound system.

i used before two sound system microlab 4.1 and 2.1. when i connected them both with audio converter jack with AUX cable they divided between two and the sound quality got low. That's why i am confused.

or any suggestion pls. Thanks

No, the signal for s the same to both. It’s a digital bitstream on the optical cable, not an analog signal (like that “aux” connection you mentioned). As long as the splitter does not degrade the light signal enough to cause dropouts or something obvious, it should work fine. Since it’s digital, it will be the same data going to both sound systems.

Many many thanks maan.
Your reply relieve all of my tensions.I was worried about two weeks for this. Cause its too much costly in my country. Around $425.53 each one.
Can you suggest me which brand of Splitter will be better. I have to purchase from Amajon. Though i find some products, here is the list:

1. j- tech : https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Premium-Quality-Splitter/dp/B00HQ2R314/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_23_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=0PHKCQWAY3XDSXK7S1QY&dpID=419QqaVRcJL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail&th=1

2. Tendak : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0119OKGVI?th=1

3. Dotstone : https://www.amazon.com/DotStone-TOSLINK-Digital-Splitter-Amplifier/dp/B01IP9DK3Q/ref=pd_sim_23_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=3V4AVHHHFN7PWF1CK3WJ

4. ViewHD : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G191YL8/ref=psdc_11042521_t2_B01IP9DK3Q

Note: Logitech Z906 can decode DTS and Dolby Digital 5:1 channel. So i need such that Splitter which can support audio formats DTS/Dolby Digital, 5:1 channel.

Or if you have any better brand's name or solutions please share it will so much helpful for me.

Thanks again (y)

These are all active (powered repeaters) splitters. All of those are pretty equivalent feature-wise. I would go for the one with best reviews concerning reliability. There are also cheaper passive (unpowered) splitters but I suspect those degrade the optical signal.

bro i get confused, the powered repeaters splitter will degrade the optical signal or the unpowered repeaters splitter will degrade the optical signal ????

I thought those powered repeaters splitter will help to keep strong the optical signal, no data will be lost, if somehow any lack happen the power will cover them up that's why i choose them.
Bro can u please suggest me any unpowered splitter, i request you to give me any name or link of amazon pls. pls bro do it for me. pls
Thanks again. :D (y)
