iMac far from audo rack - any suggestions?

I use IMac to LAN to headless MacMini to Dac, etc.

Hi, I have the M2Tech HiFace and it is outstanding, but in your case you may be interested to know that they have a new product just around the corner USB --> XLR. It is a separated box requiring a USB cable but you have an XLR on the output, great for longer runs of cable. Also I have used Amarra, Pure Music and Pure Vinyl. IMHO, PM is the better product, it does more and it sounds better (to my ears) and it set me back $129.00 vs $nearly a $1k for Amarra (the full blown version capable of 192kHZ) the lite version is I believe $395 and limited to 96khz. Just food for thought, hope it helps.

Thanks a lot for your responses, a lot of options out there!

I tend to like the use of Airport Express thru MiniToslink output and feed my Reimyo from the Toslink IN option.

Interesting info about Amarra vs Pure Music, I will just try the later and learn what happens.

Is there anything like an Minitoslink -> Toslink adapter? I mention this because I have just invested in a Wireworld Toslink cable that I like a lot.

Yes, and they are dirt cheap, too.
