Firewire Question for iMac

I am about to purchase a Weiss Dac 2. The manual says to use a 6 pin to 6 pin 400 Firewire connection. Just making sure here - is the iMac Firewire 400 port a 6 pin port and do I purchase a 6 pin male to male cable for this connection?

I've just found a Pioneer DVD Elite DVD 47Ai player with iLink (aka FireWire).

I want to rip my personal CD's to Apple Lossless format via FireWire and store them on the Mac. Where will I find the necessary drivers to see FireWire as an input choice on my Mac running 10.5? Or do I need to upgrade to 10.6 and load Garage Band to get FireWire input drivers?

Or am I completely wrongheaded, and I really need some intermediate hardware that I don't know about yet?

thanks very much for any tips/tricks.
