I can't find the audio specs on it. Does it pass anything it receives?
That would be great.


Yes, as long as you use the optical output.


That's fantastic.

Did you not actually READ the Overview on the page I sent you? It says
CLEARLY: "Ethernet or wireless networking capability" It also shows CLEARLY
that the mini-jack is both analog and OPTICAL. You just need the proper
cable or adapter:


Yes, I read it, but I missed the tiny "(analog and optical)" under Audio
Minijack. Thanks for pointing that out; I was looking for a
more-or-less standard optical plug. Two of three problems solved.

I did see that the computer must have "ethernet or wireless networking
capability", but I did not see that this device supported ethernet in
and optical out. That is the critical need.

There is an ethernet port, but I could not find its purpose stated
anywhere and it looks like it is for output, not input. Furthermore,
100% of the documentation refers to wireless networking. Wired
networking is only mentioned with regard to the computer.


Sigh! If it supports both ethernet and Wi-Fi, what else would the single CAT5
Ethernet port be for?


Am I reading that wrong? If this device will support ethernet in and
optical out, while passing full sampling, whatever it might be, then
this is the device for me.


Why don't you call Apple's pre-sales help and ask these questions. I won't do
your research for you. I say this device will do exactly what you need it to
do. Either believe me or not, that's your prerogative.
