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

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

they were selling 12m ones for ~20 IIRC.

OK, use it because it's better then. Until amplifiers and players

conversion from electrical signal to light and a conversion back at
the other end. This isn't going to INCREASE quality, is it.
