Thanks Eloise, you've been a great help. Cheers

Hi Eloise, thanks for your help. By "optical cable," do you mean this "toslink" that I've heard of (I told you I was a novice!)? Are there advantages to usb/firewire over optical? Thanks pete

Hi, Thanks for your reply. My preference is to keep the budget low, i.e. less than $400. Yes, I have a good amp and speakers. Cheers Pete

Hello, Please forgive the basic nature of this query - I'm a complete novice. My question is how to play music from the imac through an old (-ish) nad amp. I gather there is something called a toslink cable that would then need to be pugged into a digital to analogue converter. Is this correct? Alternatively there are usb or firewire possibilities. Is this also correct? Anyway, if someone could recommend a simple solution together with suitable equipment, I would be very grateful. Thank you Pete
