digital audio out: Does this iMac actually have the digital-optical output?

According to the Apple website, it does. Often times, digital audio outputs share a port with the typical 1/8-inch "headphone" adapters. You can tell (once the box is open) by looking for a red light inside the speaker or headphone port on the back.

No, it does not have a TOSLINK optical input; it will only work as a DAC when connected to a host computer as a USB device.

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

I hooked it up to my iMac and went to the hardware controls where I'd expect to see the device show up under sound devices and it wasn't there. My guess is it bluetooth only, and the mini USB plug is for charging only, not audio input. Also noted a small tag on the included USB wire that says "For Charging Only".

Not the DAC portion, but the strictly analog connection, yes.There is (was?) a Fiio model with a DAC and Apple-specific connection(s), but I can't currently find it. Try a bit of Googling or maybe look over Fiio's lineup?

This does not come with an optical output. You have to purchase the fiber optic cable made specifically for the X Box 360 which comes with the needed adapter in order for this cable to output Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.

This most likely uses Coreaudio (built in to OSX) since it is USB. I just need to know if it reads as Optical (no volume control) or USB audio (full volume and equalizer control)

The only way I can guarantee for sure that it would work is if u go to your preference settings under the apple icon, then sound settings, then output settings. If you see a digital optical output in the list, then it will work. It should be next to internal speaker output and headphone port output on the list

No. There's no audio input or output. You need the "Firstmix I/O" which has a soundcard.

I dont know. I didnt work (audio) with my early-2009 iMac. Maybe a newer model but once again, I am not really sure.

Yes; if Windows recognize it, you can use it as output. On OSX it is always recognized as output audio device. Every software works with it; all that you do is to set the input and output as IO2 and that's all.

Probably not. The audio functionality didn't start working until the mid-2010 Macs.

Rod, There is both a digital optical and analog (3.5mm) audio output on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

My cable box has a digital optical audio output that I connect to a surround sound.

Hi ThienYes the I-20 outputs digital signal via coax/optical. I use the optical output directly to a Meridian processor that has a better Dac & the combo works great.
