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?

Thank you for the response Al - my iMac has both Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 so I guess it is already an older version! LOL! Given that I have the 400 port then 6-pin male to 6-pin male is the right choice. BTW, I use the 800 port for an external HD.

Mingles thanks so much for your response. It was very helpful. Since my FW800 port is being used for an external HD I will use the FW400 for the Weiss. It will be a straight 6 pin to 6 pin.

Not sure why my iMac has both FW400 and FW800 but heck, I'll take it!
