Best way to hook up my c2c?

[Nigel79]

Now that I have decided to take the plunge and ordered the upgraded version of the c2c. What's the best way to hook it up through my D10 using my computer and iPod. I understand the aux in/out in the front can be used to hook the D10 to the amp by using mini to RCA. If I use the USB off my iMac and play songs it still comes out of my computer speakers and not out of the USB to the D10. Can somebody please run through the best way to go about this? Same problem with my iPod. If im using the aux in/out to hook my D10 to my c2c. How do I hook my ipod to my D10 Thank you!

If I understand you want to use the USB output from your computer to the D10 DAC to the C2C? The reason it's still coming out your computer speakers is that you likely haven't selected the 'USB audio device' which is how most all USB DACs show up for output. I'm not certain how to do this on a Mac unfortunately but it should be in some kind of sound control panel.

Hard Disk -> Applications -> Utilities -> Audio Midi Set-up.

Simpler though to download Soundsource so you can switch it in your menu bar.

iMac: in "System Preferences > Sound", choose the "USB Audio Codec" option. I am not sure if iMac does optical out. If it does, try it. The SQ is said to be better when using the optical out.

iPod: You need to get a LOD (lineout) dock and use a mini-to-mini cable to connect to the aux in of the D10.
