Actually, the USB thing is now a non-issue; I figured this out just going through my computer's specs while on hold with tech support.
The iMac, like the Airport Express, has a S/PDIF output via the sound mini plug. That makes things easy and no sound card is involved -- just digital out, via a very short cable, to the DAC. -- lafayette Sweet Home Alabama ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lafayette's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9022 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31334 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
