I currently use iTunes on an iMac to feed an m-audio firewire audiophile to make my music. I'll soon be replacing the iMac with a G5 tower. The G5 has optical audio output. The m-audio device wil accept both firewire or optical in.
Do you think there would be any advantage to using optical toslink over using firewire? My guess is no. Note that my m-audio does not get its power through the firewire cable (I cut those wires and use a seperate supply). If people think optical would be better then I guess I'll buy an optical cable and give it a try. Suggestions on a "reasonable" optical cable?
