OK, I might end up with analog out then. I also have virtual PC (haven't installed it yet) and am very curious to see if I can use the Sony software through that. I'm almost positive mine doesn't have an optical out. I have a G4 & MOTU 828 (now I wish I had both the G5 & the cool new 828 mkII (I think that's what it's called now)). But I'll read through the manual again and make sure what my outputs are.
