Nov 24, 2016 You can get digital audio out with the optical Toslink as described above or you can get the audio out through USB. I use a USB DAC in my dedicated audio system connected to a 2014 Mac Mini (Was a 2010 MM for awhile).
These computers support up to 192 kHz sample rate for audio playback:
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) through MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
- MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) through MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
- iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014) through iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2014)
- iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, Late 2015)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) through iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)
- Mac Pro (Late 2013)
- Mac mini (Late 2014)
To set your Mac to play high sample rate audio:
Led player 6.0 for mac pro. When it comes to ARPG (Action Role Play Game), the keyboard mapping function comes even handier since it makes it possible to use the traditional WASD key to control your character in the game, and you can set other keys to release skills or take shots.
- Connect one end of a TOSLINK optical cable to the headphone port on your Mac, and connect the other end to your audio device, such as an AV receiver.
- Open Audio MIDI Setup, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Select your audio device from the list on the left side of the Audio Devices window.
- If necessary, choose “Use this device for sound output” from the Action pop-up menu .
- Select a sample rate, such as 176400.0 Hz or 192000.0 Hz, from the Format pop-up menu.
If the audio hardware in your Mac doesn't support high sample rate audio, you can use a third-party digital audio interface.
