MacBook Pro settings for mini-toslink output

Why are you using a Mini-Toslink from your MAC headphone output to the Luxman D-05 Toslink digital input? Am I missing something?

I suggest you use the USB connection on your MAC Book Pro computer to your Luxman D-05 DAC. I also have a MAC Book Pro computer and use a USB cable from the computer to my Ayre QB-9 DSD DAC. It works fine.

Setting up the computer is not easy and I hope the information below helps. I suggest you review the following web site for setting up your MAC computer for connecting to your Luxman D-05 DAC:

I hope my above links work. If not, please copy and paste to your browser.

Check you midi settings. They are hard to find. Maybe google it. Perhaps they are set to 24/96 and your dac only takes 16/44.

OK, I'll see if I get any output from a cd file
Thanks

Before you do anything, try playing some music through the Mac other than the NPR station. Rip a cd to a lossless format like flac, and compare the 2.

can anyone give any help using a mini-toslink output cable from an apple computer?
