Is the 3.5mm audio output on the latest Mac mini also an optical output?
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
Not sure if this fits in with your current Mac line up, but in addition to a new Mac Mini. I have 2 sooped up 2012 Mac Mini’s with SSDs and 16GB of RAM. My wife uses one and I turned mine into a media server.
No. None on the newer Mac’s with a single audio port have optical digital output. What you need is a USB audio adapter or DAC that supports optical digital output.
Yeah, I was afraid of that. I have a DAC with an optical in and have a 2012 vintage Mac mini when there was still an optical out.
Does your DAC have USB input? That is actually a better way to go than optical input.
