Connecting MacBook Air to DAC


I have a Parasound 1600 DAC that I want to connect my MacBook Air laptop to listen to my iTunes on my audio system. Can I just use my USB type A output from my Mac Air? Or do I have to use my Thunderbolt 2 output?

It's the day for Mac!  USB will be fine, but you may have to adjust your Audio MIDI settings (in Utilities) to get the bit rate and speed you want for your files.  The Mac will up-convert, but it doesn't do a really great job.  Better if you match the MIDI to the files you're playing.

Have fun and happy listening!
