Help the correct integration of iMac into a Home hi-fi system. The question of setting import music iTunes: what format to choose for music downloaded from the Internet-Apple lossless or AAC and what have ripped CD - AIFF? Next, how to get music from iMac and how to properly configure the audio-midi input and output?
Thanks.

Apple lossless or Aiff are the best quality. Either one is fine.

You will need an external DAC using toslink(optical) via the headphone out jack on the mac. Then a set of RCA's from the DAC to any free inputs on the pre-amp.

Under 'sounds' select the external dac for output.

If you have a Cd player with 'optical digital in' you can use that in place of the DAC. Either way you will need a toslink cable - toslink to toslink rca mini.
