So, I'd like to use the digital I/O on the Axe-Fx Ultra and my iMac.
The Axe has RCA coax ports, and the iMac has 3.5MM optical... :roll:
If anyone's successfully made this connection, I'd appreciate any advice as to the appropriate cabling and adapters.
I've been guessing and netsurfing and came up with this:
M-Audio CO2 - Coaxial/Optical Bi-Directional Converter

2 Toslink to 3.5mm Optical Plug cables
http://www.amazon.com/3-5MM-TOSLINK-FIBER-OPTIC-CABLE-TOSLINK/dp/B00006LVF3
2 RCA <> RCA digital coax cables
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-PureAV-AV20100-03-Digital-Coaxial/dp/B0001XGQKY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8
which looks like it would do the deed, but seems a bit complex and pricey.
If anyone has a simpler, better, cheaper solution, especially one that they've actually used and proved, then please clue me in.
TIA
