So i was down at Guitar Center today looking for a good length of Optical Cable, because my stereo that I use to monitor all my equipment is 5.1 capable. Logic Pro + MOTU 828 MkII also 5.1 capable. The thing is that I live with the g/f, and all the stuff kind of has to go in one room. (Yes, I know this isn't good for recording accoustics, but it's what I have for now).

To the question. He said that you couldn't find very long optical cable because digital cables loose their strength, or some such, with too much length? How true is that?

I figuerd that I could get a lot longer length than the idiots at GC told me. I may have to order it, though. It's seeming to me that it's just hard to get in the States. Don't know for sure, but the lenghts you gave me were in meters. (The ones you mentioned would be fine...)

As for the converters, those things are ridiculously overpriced... $150.00 here in the US. That's silly. Thanks for the help.
