How To Get The Best From My Set Up

hey,

I currently own a set of Beyerdynamics MMX 300 Headphones and a Astro A40 Amp. I had previously have been using these via optical cable on my Playstation to play games/watch films. I recently decided I was going to connect these up to my Apple Mac laptop so I could listen to music/play games/watch films. This is where my problem begins how would I get 7.1 Headphone Dolby Digital sound out of my macbook as I believe the headphone jack only offers 2 channel stereo sound output?? I am currently using a Y audio cable to connect the two.

What would be the best way to connect my Macbook to my Amp?? 

Here's the links to the headphones

And to the amp
MixAmp - MixAmp™ | Astro Gaming

Use optical output from your laptop, most Macs have optical output.
