In this corner....a MacBook Pro weighing in with a built in mini optical jack capable of 24bit-192khz stereo output (although the Audio/MIDI utility only has a setting for 96khz?)
And in this corner...the feisty little M-Audio Transit...with its fancy installer, preference pane and USB connectivity....also capable of high resolution 24bit-96khz resolution....via its full size optical out..
So...any reason why one would be better to use than the other?
I could have sworn I heard a difference when attempting to A/B them...although not entirely sure....thought there might be a technical reason to choose one over the other....
For reference the system is...
MacBook Pro --> Optical out --> Keces 131 D/A --> Burson Audio Buffer --> Cambridge Audio Amp --> ELAC speakers and sub
Cheers!
