Hi Folks,
I just got gift from my wife - Aune Audio x1s Pro but not sure how do I connect this to my MacBook pro-2018 model. I am aware of the following options, your suggestions needed on this.
1: Optical -
I was assuming I can easily connect it through 3.5 mm jack with toslink cable. But was not aware that for later version of MacBook pro does not support the optical. Came across this article - https://www.macworld.com/article/32...tical-digital-audio-output-on-newer-macs.html and found this one - https://www.amazon.in/Behringer-UCA...ringer+U-Control+UCA202&qid=1611643290&sr=8-1
Is the best option and, do you think that sound quality will not get compromised?
2: USB -
Without driver I cannot use Aune right? If this is the case then I have to rule out this option as I don't have the rights to install drivers on my macbook, because it is given by my company.
3: RCA -
I have read somewhere that using RCA to connect dac will only use macbook's dac and not the Aune DAC. Is it true? If this is the case then my Dac will be redundant to improve the quality of sound. And then what about the phone, I have to connect my android phone through RCA only, with 3.5mm to the Left and Right of the DAC, will it improve the sound quality?
Thanks in advance
