Optical digital audio output for Mac discontinued - solutions?
Hi all - I have a 2008 iMac with a SPID/F digital optical output embedded in the headphone jack. I have a cable that connects that directly to my DAC and everything works great. However, my computer is in its death throes so I’d like to get a Mac desktop to replace it. However, Mac...- nyetjones

Need COAX digital --> analog balanced XLR or TRS converter
Looking for a media and signal convertor, ideally with level adjustment. Needs to do DAC duties, plus output signals should have the correct impedance and level. I'd prefer XLR out, but TRS could work. I'm looking for something older, which can (ideally) be found for cheap on the used market...- jw2k_fr

Explain: Why do Vinyl with a Digital/PC source?
I’ve been thinking about this for a while; it seems to me most people use PCs, tablets, phones, or some kind of computing device (which is digital by nature) to record their music. Yet there are many, many albums from new artists coming out on vinyl, an analog medium. I’ve heard people try to...- Audman71

SMSL M6
The SMSL M6 is an amp/DAC put out by the maker SMSL, and is an outlier in the manufacturer's selection so far as quality goes. Despite its price tag, it is often favorably compared to the Objective and Schiit stacks--and whether or not it matches this reputation, it's a nice budget option...- AthenaZephyrian

Is USB Audio always digital?
Apologies for the basic question, i couldn't find the answers online. When I use optical out on my iMac, I can't change the volume on the computer. When I use USB audio out I can. I thought that with a digital out (i.e. hasn't been converted to analogue) you can't ever change the volume, as...- rensc

Neutrality-neutral sound.

Fiio X5III coaxial out and digital in on amp?
Hi, I own a Fiio X5 3rd gen. Would it make sense to connect this device to my amp using the coaxial out of the Fiio and the digital optical in on my amplifier? Would there be any gain as compared to using Line Out out of the Fiio, and analog-in on the amp? If so, what kind of cable would I...- mimed
