I have a m-audio profire 2626 interface. I am looking to add another 2626 to gain enough inputs so that I can stop plugging and unplugging cables every time I get ready to record another instument. I will be hooking the two 2626's together using the digital I/O toslink connections. My question is this... My drums are 25 feet from my interface currently. I am running long mic cables connected together to get the signal from the drum mics to the interface, and it is a mess of wiring. So, I could buy a 25' xlr snake to clean up the mess, or, I could place the second interface in a rack near the drums and use a 25' toslink cable to connect the two interfaces together. One toslink cable would be a lot cheaper than a xlr snake, and a much smaller cable to deal with. But, is there a disadvantage to running a long digital cable to connect the two interfaces compared to running a snake?
