Have you opened the converter box to see if there are bit switches inside? Sometimes these types of things will have bit-set switches inside to change. It's a long shot though.
EDIT: I looked up schematics for coax-to-optical SPDIF converters. They are pretty simple. Generally just an input to a CMOS buffer to drive the optical output. Nothing else. Unless this thing is really buggered up, I don't see how it could be causing you issues.
Another silly question.. What are you powering the SPDIF converter box with?

it came with a little wall wart power supply...It's definitely a POS. It was $13 on Monoprice. I've got the HOSA ODL-312 coming Monday. I would be shacked if I couldn't get these things to work together.

Just a shot in the dark. This was the type of behaviour i had when my RM A/D converter was faulty.

You mean the card in the Symphony? It passes audio fine, though...We will find out Monday...

AES and SPDIF are almost the same thing.. In fact, all you need to adapt AES to coax spdif is a level pad.
