Yeah, that’s not gonna work for many reasons. Unfortunately your Emotiva doesn’t have a USB input, which limits your possibilities. You’re better off getting a dedicated streamer that outputs SPDIF (RCA, not TOSLINK) that you can then plug into your Emotiva. Plus, if you’re at all serious about audio you don’t really wanna use a computer as it’s a bad/noisy source for music. Sorry to be negative, but it is what it is.
What cabling to connect my MacBook Pro headphone jack to the TOS input of my Emotiva ERC-4
Title says it all. I have bought several cables from Amazon but none seem to do the trick. I have narrowed it down to needing:
analog ouput -> DAC-> TOS-link cable-> Emotiva Optical input.
Thanks in advance
