I have a Griffin iMic connected to my iMac. In fact it has the same functionality as the Xitel AN1 but also has audio in. I use the audio out to connect my iMac to my stereo and the audio in to make recordings from a cassette deck. (I have no more inlets on my receiver left) or my portable MD recorder. In fact I can route the sound from the cassette through the iMic to my stereo system. You have to experiment with the settings, but then the iMic is a great little device and sounds much better than the normal output of the iMac. It may not be as clean as true digital throughput, but this solution is a lot cheaper than long TOS-link cable and a digital converter. For me it's good enough for playing mp3's on my stereo system and a lot cheaper than buying extra speakers. Hope this answers your question. iMark ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
