how to connect pc to stereo with optical lead

["Teddy" <andrew.tedford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

Simple question hopefully -

I've noticed that my Pc sound card has an output for 'optical' which I'm
presuming is fibre optic.  Downstairs I have a Yamaha DSPA1 amp which has
optical input.  so, does that mean if I want to listen to MP3s from my PC,
all I need to do is buy a really long fibre optic lead and run it down the
outside out the house (14ft)?  Or do I need a signal booster thingy?

Thanks all

Teddy
