mac mini optical audio

v-six · 03-07-2007, 11:01 AM

Hi guys, hopefully there's a mac audiophile in here somewhere.

I'm hoping to hook up my mac mini (intel dual core) to my receiver with an optical toslink input. Is this the right cable?

Thanks!
On a random note, beyond 5.1 for DVDs, will this actually give me any better sound than splitting my output to rca stereo?

well, since it looks like the same cable apple sells just for that, i guess that it is the right cable. as for the quality, i could never tell.
