some noob monitor questions

Ok I got myself some truth 2301a's

Now, I dont have a decent soundcard at the moment, but I do have one of these:

Can I use this to wire up the monitors?

it says it has " 2 analog inputs and outputs, as well as an additional S/PDIF optical output for direct digital conversion"

You need a RCA 2 XLR / 1/4" connector. The best way to do it is to go to some hardware shop and ask them they make the connectors for you (male rca -> mono male 1/4", 2 of them).

No, you need two (one for left speaker, one for right).
