No problem. Use co-ax rather than optical - it's cheaper.


'scuse me? I picked up a 3m optical cable for 6ukp.


Right. I'd just make up one of the correct length. Haven't tried with
optical. Does it solder easily?


the SPDIF ones are plastic. a scalpel would probably suffice.

they were selling 12m ones for ~20 IIRC.


Oxygen free glass?


what, LESS than 50p/metre and you're complaining?
