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
have lightpipes instead of wire inside, there's going to be a
conversion from electrical signal to light and a conversion back at
the other end. This isn't going to INCREASE quality, is it.

Not likely to decrease it either, is it?

buit the optic fibre isnt going to transmit electrical noise is it?
