handyman Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 What is the best way to get a digital signal from my macbook pro to the coaxial digital in on my CDP? Link to comment
Purite Audio Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Personally I don't think you can beat firewire, so you would need a firewire interface, Keith. Link to comment
johnwilk Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Cheapest way, if inelegant, is an optical-coax converter. I bought one for $11.20 from WWW.PIMFG.COM, and used it to connect a Mac Mini to a Resolution Audio Opus 21 when I was loading it to bring back to England (a solution for a transatlantic existence). Results were as good as direct CD play from the Opus 21 apart from a little high-frequency hashing experienced once and briefly in many hours of playback. Worthwhile as a temporary measure anyway.

MontyW Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Optical to Coax Try something from Mutec: http://www.mutec-net.de/ I have a MC1 and I use the 3.5mm Tosling to the MC1 and output AES/EUB - but you can also out put coax. A great piece of kit! Monty Location: Manchester\'ish - UK. System: iMac, YellowTec PUC2 Lite, Genelec 7270A sub, 2 x 8240A monitors, a Drobo and Vovox cables. Link to comment
handyman Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks everyone. A good spread of suggestions for me to research. Monty. Does the MC1 colour the signal in any way? Link to comment
