Is there any mini-jack converter for the Mac Mini

to use it a s a Music Server to conect it to a coax cable and feed a DAC? or is there any other more elegant option to connect a Mac Mini to an external DAC taking into account that my DAC does not have an USB port???

Thanks

Assuming your DAC has an optical input, there's a mini-Toslink to Toslink adapater made by Audioquest and available from Music Direct for about $5. You would then use a standard Toslink cable. Or, you could go with a single cable that has mini-Toslink on one end and standard Toslink on the other. I ordered one from Lifatec (Lifatec.com). I don't know if there's an adapter from the Mini mini-jack to an RCA style coax, but I'd be interested in finding out too.

Trends Audio and Bel Canto both make this type of converter.
