WOWWWWWWjust realized
with this card..
i can just run the ADAT out from the RME directly into my DIGI 001's ADAT input on the pci card... or the ADAT input of my Motu 2408!!!
i thought i had to buy another adat-analog converter box to do this but i can just go straight digital into these other interfaces
insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kinda freaking out excited;)
8 channels of pristine RME Output
helllllllls yea
but this also means rearranging my macs to be side by side somehow. hmm
theres always some other pain in the ass
is there a limit to TOSLINK cable length?
TOSLINK cables are usually limited to 5 meters in length , with a technical maximum[1] of 10 meters, for reliable transmission without the use of a signal booster or a repeater. However, it is very common for interfaces on newer consumer electronics (satellite receivers and PCs with optical outputs) to easily run over 30 meters on even low-cost (0.82 USD/m 2009) TOSLINK cables. TOSLINK transmitters operate at a nominal optical wavelength of 650 nm (~461.2 THz). -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSLINK
yep! hmm where the hell can i find a toslink of 6-8 meter length...
