chilest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Folks, I am planning to set up a Mac-based music server and looking for advice on a good optical cable to connect my MacBook Pro to the external DAC (looking at purchasing the Benckmark DAC-1 USB). The MacBook optical output requires a mini plug. I actually have a Kimber Kable USB cable and will be comparing the USB and Toslink cables. Thanks tom Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Tom - This is a popular question that has been discussed a few times around here. I always have a hard time finding the links though :-) I use the Monster Cable LighSpeed 100 Mini optical to Toslink. Here are links to a couple others. http://www.vandenhul.com/p_B42.aspx http://www.futureshop.co.uk/chord-optichord-toslink-to-mini-toslink-digital-audio-cable-1m-p-1267.html Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
TimH Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I purchased a cable from these folks and am very happy with it. Major plus here is that you can order just about any length and they will build it for you. Took about a week or so to arrive from Canada. http://www.sysconcept.ca/product_info.php?products_id=219 TheOtherTim Link to comment
