Mac Tunderbolt Cable to Optical Cable


Hi,
I want to convert MAC Tunderbolt Output(Cable) to Optical or Coaxial Audio Input(Cable).

Connection:
MacBook Pro >> Dock (Benchmark) is just compatible with Optical and Coaxial.

Do you know, is it possible to do that ? If you have an idea I will be appreciated.

At the moment, there aren't any Thunderbolt audio devices I am aware of.

You can however get FireWire to coax/AES - Weiss INT202/203

Or you can get USB2.0 to coax/AES/optical/BNC. I use a Wavelink HS which provides a BNC SPDIF output. You can also try Bel Canto REF Link which outputs AES and coax and optical, Berkeley Alpha USB, among others.

If you don't have a spare USB or FW port - like with a MacBook Air/Retina, you can buy Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptors from Apple, or a Belkin Thunderbolt dock that provides Firewire/USB3.0 ports
