Hi, I'm new to this forum so bear with me..
I want to connect my macbook Pro 2018 to my Marantz PM6005 which has a DAC built into it. What would be the best way to do that? The DAC in the Marantz only has Coaxial and Optical Input. I was told that my version of the Macbook no longer supports the optical out built into the headphone jack, so I'm a bit clueless as to how to approach this? Hope you guys can help!
Thanks!

An alternative is to buy a second hand Apple Airport Express and run an optical cable from the Airport Express to the Marantz. If you don't do anything else but stream audio with the Airport Express you could even buy a first generation model.

Hi,
I had the same issue with trying to connect my Mac Mini (2018) to my Marantz PM6005 about a month ago.
I ended up buying a Schiit Eitr and connecting my Mac to that via USB and then connected the Schiit Eitr to my amp through coaxial.

Hope that helps.
