can you connect a apple macbook pro to a dac with this cable

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

Yes. I've had these speakers hooked up to my Macbook Pro for a year now and they sound very good.

As far as I understand, that set-up will utilize the amp function but not the DAC. The DAC is only through the USB port.

I selected this device according to the types of connectors available on the analogue TV and my PC. I do not know what connectors the MacBook Pro has. I use the video output from the device that uses a yellow RCA type cable to connect it to the analogue TV. I then use a L/R (red/white) cable to connect the device to the analogue TV to get the sound. On the PC side for connections, the PC has a VGA output port that connects to the device. I use a separate cable to connect the headphone connector to the device to get the sound to the TV. Hope this helps

Yes. Purchase a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable. I use this interchangeably between an iMac and a MacBook Pro.

Plug in the mixer's "out" to the receiver via RCA and plug in your macbook via RCA to 3.5mm cable to the mixer.

Yes you do need some kind of audio interface that has 1/4 inch or RCA outputs. Then the device should have either FireWire or USB...you may need a FireWire to thunderbolt cable because the new Mac may not have FireWire. Hope this helps

yes no worries, you will need to get a Moshi cable (ebay) so that it connects your mac to an HDMI and because this is a converter, you will need to patch the sound over, either by connecting a audio wire or doing it over blutooth.

Yes. You would just use your headphone jack on the iMAC and the appropriate 3.5mm cable.

You can get a RCA to 3.5 cable and that will do the job. Something like this:Dynex 3.5 mm Mini to RCA Stereo Audio Cable - 6-Feet - 1.8 MHowever, if you are getting a DAC, you can use a USB DAC or optical DAC (most macbook pro support optical out)

Yes. I have a MacBook Pro and have no problems connecting the two. You do have to have the wire connected. It doesn't sync wirelessly

Yeah you should be able to. We think this cable is amazing because we don't need any other attachment. We leave it plugged to the TV HDMI slot, then just plug the thunderbolt end to our mac pro when needed. After the initial set-up on your mac settings for display and audio, it automatically mirrors when connected. Love it!

You will need a DAC first to hook it up with Mac. Then use the audio output to connect with Schitt lyr.

No. The audio output option does not show up on a Macbook Pro. I tried multiple HDMI cables (including a high-speed cable) and every configuration possible, both mini displayports and the built-in HDMI. I tried all available screen resolutions in each port and none of them allowed the audio device to show up.

Yes but you need the adapter that takes both mic and audio 3.5mm jacks into 1 3.5mm jack then it goes in the headphone jack of a macbook.

Depending on the imac, you can do an fiberoptic to a DAC then RCA from the DAC to your Gemini monitors. I have a Macbook pro and the fiberoptic cable plugs into the 3.5mm jack with a special adapter. Without a DAC, the easiest way I would guess have a 3.5mm to RCA splitter, then go from there. You don't have to really worry about a balanced cable unless you're going long distances with cables. (and Balanced cables are more expensive)

This does *not* work with a MacBook Pro. I ordered one for my Mac without realizing the input jack on the laptop is line-level. The mic-level output is insufficient meaning no sound can be heard when speaking (although the headset *can* be used for listening). The Mac requires a USB or Bluetooth headset.
