New to Computer/Digital Music Need Help NADM15


Recently purchased NAD M15 HD pre/processor. Want to get use my macbook and for now itunes library. Struggling with what I need to accomplish this. Questions are:
Is the onboard DAC adequate or can I use an external DAC? recommendations?
What is best way to connect macbook to NAD unit? Headphone jack? USB with external DAC?
What input do I connect into NAD? Any help with configuring setup menu based on connection method?

I recently purchased MAC Sound Pipe but cannot get sound. I assume this is teh "poor man's way" and do you recommend a SPDIF bridge assuming use of an external DAC? My price limit for teh DAC would be <$600.00. Thank you for considering to help.

Larryken. thanks for helping me out. I have downloaded PureMusic app and begun converting files.

Sfar I went to a local Apple retail store and the first person that helped me told me that the head out jack was regular audio on a macbook an dthat they did not carry toslink with adapters for the mini jack. Then visited another store and asked again sharing your note and they agreed and located the cable. Also exploring an external DAC. Tahnks for your help as well.
