optical cable (pcm-m1)

Another m1 question. I have 3 digital cable options:
POC-DA12P
POC-DA12MP
POC-DA12SP
My intentions are to run from the digital I/O to a SB Extigy (optical in). Right now i'm thinking that I have to go with the MP. I've searched google and have turned up nothing but non-english sites. Any help is appreciated.

I
think
most of these cables aren't made any longer and are sometimes difficult to find.
If you
really
get in a bind you could get a 7-pin coax cable and a coax / optical digital format converter, like the ODL-276. Or...just get a soundcard that accepts coax inputs.

Coax = S/PDIF , am I correct? If so, i've got that option on my card as well. If I were to go that route, I need a converter, right?

Basically correct, yes. S/PDIF is a digital signal format transmitted over a 75 ohm coax cable. If your soundcard takes coax S/PDIF input, to run M1 > soundcard you'll need simply:
[1] 7-pin/coax cable
[2] coax cable with RCA connectors to run the length from your M1's 7-pin/coax cable to the RCA input on your soundcard
Check the Archival Info forum for some options on your 7-pin/coax cable.
