Macbook Pro "digital audio i/o" question
Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro. The specs on the Apple site are vague: Audio line in minijack (digital/analog). Audio line out/headphone minijack (digital/analog). I'm very curious about the "digital input". Is this a spdif digital input? |

Macbook Pro "digital audio i/o" question
joe h:
I have a Macbook Pro. The specs on the Apple site are vague: Unless you manage to find the more detailed info page... ;-) BTW: found with "bing" searching for "macbook pro digital audio connector" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1596 Audio line in minijack (digital/analog). Audio line out/headphone minijack (digital/analog). "... Connect external speakers, headphones, or optical digital audio equipment. The headphone / line output jack accommodates optical digital audio output, analog audio output with a 24-bit, 44.1-192 kHz D/A converter, digital audio output up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-192 kHz sampling rate and supporting encoded digital audio output (AC3 and DTS). For analog headphone / line output a standard audio cable with 3.5mm metal plug should be used. For *digital* audio, a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter can be used." I'm very curious about the "digital input". Is this a spdif digital input? "... Optical audio input is SPDIF format and uses a standard toslink cable with a toslink mini-plug adapter, accepting up to 24-bit stereo and 44.1-96kHz sampling rate." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSLINK shows an adaptor from normal TOSlink to mini-plug one. IIRC there were optical cables with fixed mini-plugs on the market about 10 years ago. Don´t know, if they´re still around, but the adaptors are still available cheaply. Hope, that helps, Phil |
