RE: SoundBlaster Live Optical Add-On - Anyone know of one ?

["BUTLER, Tony, FM" <tony.butler@xxxxxxx>]

You can definitely get longer - I have 3m cables between my movable AV rack
and the stationary AMP @ Node 0
Can't remember where I bought my leads (on the web though) but check out
http://www.hifibitz.co.uk for 2m
leads @35 quid a pop.
Never said it was cheap!
